Steps:
- Build a medium fire on one side of a charcoal grill. If using a gas grill, heat one side to medium-high. Line a baking sheet with foil. In a small bowl, combine paprika, salt, Old Bay, garlic, onion, cayenne, thyme, and sugar. Stir until evening mixed. Stir in oil to make a paste. Place cleaned shrimp in a medium bowl. With your hands, rub the spice paste all over the shrimp, getting some under the shells if possible. Set shrimp in refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully wash your hands to remove all the pepper. If you don't and you rub your eyes, you'll be sorry! Preferably using flat metal skewers (which don't burn and keep the food from spinning), thread 3 shrimp on each skewer, piercing through the tail and the body so that they are in a crescent shape, alternating with pieces of Andouille. Make sure you leave space between them so they cook evenly. Place skewers on the prepared baking sheet. Oil the grill with a paper towel (use tongs). Place skewers over hot fire and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn each one over and move it to the cool side of the grill. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and are firm to the touch. Err on the side of removing them slightly before they are done. The residual heat will finish cooking them. Remove the dirty foil from the baking sheet so you are placing the cooked shrimp on a clean surface. I like to serve them laid across a mound of rice to catch all the spicy juices. Sort of a mock Jambalaya. Serve immediately. Dig in and enjoy!
GRILLED SHRIMP AND SAUSAGE WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS
Oh boy... this is going to be on your menu all summer! It's really tasty and filling. Plus, cooking it on the grill means you don't have to heat up the kitchen on a hot day. We chose to add potatoes to this summer grilling recipe and they were delish. Pasta or rice would be lovely too. An easy summer dinner.

Alternately thread 3 pieces of andouille and 2 shrimp onto each skewer. Repeat with the remaining skewers. Turning once or twice, grill 6 to 7 minutes until shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Serve 2 skewers per person with a portion of Hot Ravigote Sauce.
GRILLED ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP OVER GRILLED GRITS
Steps:
- Grilled Grit Squares:
- To prepare grits, bring the water and salt to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. And gradually stir in the grits. Reduce the heat and simmer until thick, stirring frequently, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese, white pepper, and pepper sauce.
- Spread the grits in a 15 by 10-inch pan coated with cooking spray and let cool completely on a wire rack. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Invert grits onto a cutting board and cut into 6 squares. Put the squares on a grill pan coated with cooking spray, and grill until lightly browned and thoroughly heated for 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan to a plate and keep warm.
- Heat grill to medium heat.
- Put the andouille sausage on the grill and start to cook.
- In a saute pan, over the grill, add the butter and melt. Stir in the flour and cook for 4 to 6 minutes for a medium brown roux. Add the onions, peppers, and celery. Season with salt and cayenne. Continue cooking until the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the grill. Dice, add to roux, and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Season the shrimp with salt and cayenne. Add the shrimp and stir in the clam juice and cream. Bring the liquid to a simmer and continue to cook until the mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the green onions. To serve, put a grilled grits square in the center of each serving bowl. Spoon the sausage/shrimp mixture over the grits and garnish with parsley or chive sprigs before serving. If desired, serve with Grilled Collard Greens.
GRILLED ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE WITH SHRIMP, CLAMS, MUSSELS AND GARLIC WITH GRILLED COUNTRY BREAD WITH ANCHOVY BUTTER
Steps:
- For the Country Bread: Combine the butter and anchovies in a food processor and process until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the bread until lightly golden brown on both sides, about 20 seconds per side. Remove from the grill and slather some of the anchovy butter on 1 side. Cut each slice in half, while still hot.
- For the sausage and shrimp: Heat the grill to high.
- Brush the sausage with oil and grill until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through. Remove to a platter.
- In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with oil, anchovy butter, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until slightly charred on both sides and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove to the platter with the sausage.
- Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large stockpot on the grates of the grill or the side burner of the grill. Add the garlic and cook until lightly golden brown. Stir in the wine, clam juice and thyme, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half. Add the clams and mussels, cover the pot and cook until all have opened, discarding any that have not opened. Remove with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Add the sausage and shrimp to the broth and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the butter and parsley and cook for another minute. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Return the clams and mussels to the pot and cook until just warmed through, about 1 minute. Serve in large bowls with the grilled bread. Garnish with more parsley.
Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp. Look for large, firm shrimp that are pink or gray in color. Avoid shrimp that are brown or have black spots.
- Clean the shrimp properly. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and remove the heads and shells. Devein the shrimp by making a shallow cut down the back of each shrimp and removing the dark vein.
- Marinate the shrimp. Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to tenderize and flavor the shrimp.
- Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked quickly over high heat. Overcooking will make the shrimp tough and rubbery.
- Choose the right sausages. Look for sausages that are made with high-quality meat and spices. Avoid sausages that are overly processed or contain a lot of fillers.
- Grill the sausages properly. Sausages should be grilled over medium heat until they are cooked through. Avoid grilling the sausages over high heat, as this will cause them to burn on the outside while remaining raw on the inside.
- Serve the shrimp and sausages with your favorite sides. Grilled shrimp and sausages can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, vegetables, or salad.
Conclusion:
Grilled shrimp and sausages are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. By following these tips, you can ensure that your shrimp and sausages are cooked to perfection and that your guests will enjoy a delicious meal.
