Grilled Shrimp and Sausage Skewers
By jlauer
These delicious kebabs are a Spanish take on surf and turf. Because the skewers aren't on the grill long enough to cook fresh sausages, fully cooked sausages are used here.
Ingredients
- •3/4 cup olive oil
- •4 large garlic cloves, pressed
- •2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
- •5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- •4 teaspoons Sherry wine vinegar
- •3/4 teaspoon salt
- •1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- •1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
