Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 lb Smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 Red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
- 1 Yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
- 1 Red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 Lemon, juiced
- 1 cup Creole mustard
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 12 Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using an indoor grill or grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat.
2. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, sausage, bell peppers, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, add minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, and the juice of 1 lemon. Toss until evenly coated.
3. Thread the shrimp, sausage, bell peppers, and red onion onto the soaked skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation. Use approximately 3 shrimp and 3 sausage slices per skewer, along with a mix of vegetables.
4. Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning once, until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the vegetables are lightly charred.
5. While the skewers are grilling, prepare the Creole mustard dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together Creole mustard, mayonnaise, honey, and smoked paprika until smooth.
6. Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Serve hot alongside the Creole mustard dipping sauce.
7. Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of additional lemon juice before serving.
