-> Chef’s Notes

1.       Don’t overcook the shrimp.

2.       Using precooked Andouille Sausage means you just need to heat it through.

3.       Add more vegetables to the skewers if you like – bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, or summer squash.

4.       Serve with your favorite grilling side dishes – cilantro lime rice, roasted potatoes, loaded baked potatoes, or coleslaw.
