Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 lb sausage, sliced
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups corn kernels
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing and cutting baby potatoes in half, slicing sausage into bite-sized pieces, and ensuring shrimp are peeled and deveined.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a seasoning marinade.
- Toss potatoes, sausage, shrimp, and corn kernels in the marinade, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (204°C).
- Thread marinated ingredients onto metal or pre-soaked wooden skewers, alternating between shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn for balanced flavor and visual appeal.
- Lightly oil grill grates to prevent sticking and place kabobs on the hot surface.
- Grill kabobs for 4-5 minutes per side, rotating to ensure even cooking and nice char marks.
- Check that shrimp are pink and opaque, sausage is heated through, and potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove kabobs from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Serve hot, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and presentation.
Tips
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Cut ingredients into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Don't overcrowd skewers - leave a little space between ingredients for proper heat circulation.
- Use a meat thermometer to check sausage's internal temperature reaches 160°F for food safety.
- For extra flavor, marinate shrimp and sausage for 15-30 minutes before grilling.
- Keep grill temperature consistent around 400-450°F for perfect char and doneness.
- Let kabobs rest for a few minutes after grilling to retain juices and enhance flavor.
