Instructions

  1. First, bring a large pot of water to boil and boil the sausage for 3-4 minutes. I like to do this step so the sausage firms up just a bit prior to cooking.
  2. Then, cook the sausage on a frying pan with 1 Tbsp. olive oil. On medium heat. Leave the sausage whole. Flip occasionally.
  3. Once the sausage gets a nice browned color on the exterior, slice the sausage carefully. To get the sausage crispy, place back in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. Watch carefully so they don’t burn. Set aside on a plate.
  4. Place the thawed shrimp in a large bowl and mix with all of the seasonings. Cook in a single layer on another frying pan (or clean the one you previously used) over medium heat until cooked, about 3 minutes on each side. You will know when they are cooked when the shrimp are opaque.
  5. Whisk together the 3 ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl.Skewer a shrimp and sausage together - tuck the sausage slices in the "C" curve of the shrimp and then thread them on a toothpick or small skewers and repeat until finished. Dunk in the sauce and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can also use a pre-packaged shrimp, typically 12 oz. package with 4 links.
