Ingredients

Skewer Ingredients:

1.5 lbs of Anchored Shrimp peeled & deveined
3 Spicy Sausage Links sliced
2 tbsp of Cajun Seasoning
Finely Chopped Parsley for garnish

Honey Glaze:

2 oz of Bourbon or Whiskey
3 tbsp of Butter
1.5 tbsp of Honey

Instructions

Add the shrimp into a food safe bowl. Season generously with the cajun seasoning and mix together.
Place a sliced sausage link inside the curve of the shrimp and add onto the skewer. Do this until all your skewers are full.
Set aside until you are ready to cook.
Preheat your grill to medium-high temperature (about 375 degrees F).
Add a basting skillet over the direct heat. Add bourbon to skillet and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Once simmered, pull off to a lower heat part of the grill and add the rest of the Honey Glaze ingredients. Mix together thoroughly.
Add your shrimp skewers to the grill. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side. Glaze the outside of the skewers on the last 1 minute of the cook to give a nice caramelization.
Once done, pull the skewers off and rest for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy!

Tips for perfect skewers

Crafting these skewers is easy, although it does require some patience, especially if it's your first time making them. You will want to ensure that the sausage and shrimp form a perfect "c" shape on the skewers so that they thread onto the wood skewers evenly. Also, don't hesitate to re-season the skewers after threading to ensure every bite is flavor-packed!
