Instructions

Marinate the shrimp: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, seasoning blend, salt, and pepper. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15–30 minutes.
Preheat grill: Heat to medium-high (about 400°F). Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Assemble kabobs: Alternate shrimp and sausage slices on skewers. You can do 2–3 shrimp per skewer, with 2–3 sausage slices between.
Grill the kabobs: Place skewers on the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until shrimp are pink and opaque and sausage is browned and heated through.

Serve: Remove from grill, sprinkle with fresh parsley or green onion, and serve hot with lemon wedges.

Notes

Use precooked smoked sausage to save time—just heat and char on the grill.
Want veggies? Add bell peppers, red onion, or zucchini between the shrimp and sausage.
Serve over rice, grits, or salad for a complete meal.
