Recipe of the Week: Shrimp & Sausage Skewers

Last weekend me, Jeremy & Rylee all took a trip down to Galveston for a family fun day! I have been wanting to visit the new Pleasure Pier and even more so, eat at Bubba Gumps! I first had BG when I went to Hawaii (Kona) with my parents. It was SO delicious. When Jeremy & I had our honeymoon in Maui we ate there a few times as well. I love that place. I usually get the Bubba's bucket'o'boat trash but this time, I was wanting to try something else. I scoured the menu and finally decided on their Kentucky Bourbon Shrimp Skewers. Oh. My. Word. SO DELICIOUS! If you go, I recommend this dish. So when I was making my dinner menu for the week I decided I would try my hand at a homemade version of that dish. It was a success!! I did mine with my homemade BBQ sauce that is a tad spicy. You can pair yours with your favorite bottled or homemade sauce of any kind. 

What you need:
1/2 lb of shrimp
1/2 link of sausage(I used jalapeno)
1/2 onion
2 Bell peppers

 What you do:
First, start off by chopping the veggies, sausage and peeling the shrimp. I set up a little work station to help things move along quicker.

You can skewer yours in whatever order you prefer. I did onion, bell pepper, shrimp, sausage, repeat. Season skewers with salt and pepper once you've completed them all.

Next, baste your skewers with whatever sauce you will be using. Cover and set in fridge until you're ready to grill them.

Throw them on the grill for about 7 minutes a side or until the shrimp are cooked thru. Cook them with the grill closed so the veggies get a chance to become tender.

I served them with grilled corn and mashed potatoes. This was such a yummy meal!! Try this one out, your family will love it!
