Shrimp Sausage and Pineapple Kabobs
Shrimp sausage and pineapple kabobs are an easy and tasty summer grilling recipe.
I think it’s an unspoken rule that you need to grill kabobs or skewers at least once in the summer, right?!
Kabob ideas are endless really.
I went with this combo for a few reasons…
And the cook time on all three is about the same (the smoked sausage is already cooked).
How to Make Shrimp Sausage and Pineapple Kabobs
If I put peppers or onions on this kabob, either the shrimp would be way overdone, or the peppers and onions would not be done enough.
A quick 5 minutes per side for these kabobs and everything is grilled to perfection!
Personally, I like using wooden kabob skewers rather than metal.
I soak the wooden skewers in water for at least an hour so they don’t catch fire on the grill (that would be bad).
I used jumbo shrimp with the shells removed and seasoned them simply with old bay seasoning.
Then cut the pineapple into about 1 inch chunks, or about the same size as the shrimp.
It sounds crazy, but I coat the pineapple with olive oil, kosher salt and pepper.
This prevents it from sticking to the grill.
And the salt and pepper cut the sweetness just a bit helping it blend beautifully into this savory dish.
Use whatever smoked sausage you like, I went with a pineapple bacon flavored chicken sausage that I found at the grocery store.
Yum!
Smoked sausage is already cooked, so just a quick warm up and char on the grill makes it perfect to use.
Set up your kabob making station and have at it 🙂
Call me weird, but I find kabob making to be enjoyable and creative.
I turn my music up (and maybe even sing a little), take my time, and make each one a little different.
They look so pretty 🙂
Preheat the grill to about medium to medium high heat, everyone’s grill is a little different so use your best judgement.
5 minutes per side and Shrimp Sausage and Pineapple Kabobs are ready!
We had these with Skillet Corn with Bacon and the combo was crazy delicious!
