Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh Gulf Shrimp
  • 1 pound Conecuh Sausage
  • 5-8 bamboo skewers
  • Cavenders Greek Seasoning

Instructions

  • Peel and butterfly shrimp.
  • Slice the Conecuh lengthwise, then into cubes for the skewers.
  • Alternate shrimp and Conecuh on the skewers until all is used.
  • Sprinkle liberally with Cavenders and set aside in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Prepare the charcoal grill for indirect grilling, preferably with a Grillax Charcoal Halo.
  • Once coals are ashed over and hot, place skewers around the coals, but not directly over the heat.
  • Cover grill and let cook for 10 minutes. Flip and cook for another 10 minutes.
  • Check the internal temperature of your shrimp and make sure it reads 145 degrees. The Thermoworks Thermapen MK4 is a great tool for checking internal temperatures on delicate foods.
  • Remove grill top and bring your coals back to high heat. Sear the skewers for 60 seconds on both sides before serving.
