Cajun Shrimp Boil Skewers Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by boiling nugget potatoes alone for 10 minutes, then adding corn and sliced chorizo to cook for 5 more minutes until tender. The boiled ingredients are drained and then threaded along with tail-on shrimp onto long skewers for grilling.
A Cajun lemon garlic butter sauce made from salted butter, chili powder, paprika, sea salt, oregano, minced garlic, and fresh lemon juice is prepared by melting the butter and mixing in the spices and lemon. Half the butter is used for basting the skewers during grilling; the other half is kept warm for serving.
Grilling the skewers over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, turning and basting once, adds a charred, smoky flavor and caramelizes the butter sauce onto the food. Lemon wedges are served alongside for squeezing over the finished skewers.
