Ingredients
Scale
Seafood and Meat
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails on
- 12 ounces smoked sausage, sliced into 1 inch rounds
Vegetables
- 3 ears corn, cut into 1 inch rounds
- 1 pound baby red potatoes, halved
Seasonings and Sauces
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Additional
- Lemon wedges for serving
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- Boil Potatoes and Corn: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook for 10 to 12 minutes until just fork tender. Add the corn during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Prepare Marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well to blend all flavors.
- Toss Ingredients: Add the shrimp, sausage slices, cooked potatoes, and corn to the marinade. Toss gently to coat everything evenly and allow the flavors to meld.
- Assemble Kabobs: Thread the shrimp, sausage, corn rounds, and potatoes onto skewers, alternating ingredients to create colorful kabobs.
- Preheat Grill: Preheat a grill to medium heat, approximately 400°F. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill Kabobs: Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Grill until shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly charred, and all components are heated through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove kabobs from the grill. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
Notes
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- For a spicier flavor, substitute Cajun seasoning in place of Old Bay seasoning.
- These kabobs can also be baked in an oven at 425°F for 10 to 12 minutes until the shrimp are fully cooked.
