Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 12 ounces smoked sausage cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red onion cut into wedges
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, sausage, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is well coated.
  3. Thread the shrimp, sausage, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
  4. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, and the sausage is heated.
  5. Remove from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
