Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 2 ears corn, cut into thirds
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Allow it to heat for 10-15 minutes.

- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the mixture. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss to coat evenly.
- Thread the ingredients onto skewers, alternating between shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes. If using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes.

- Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the shrimp is opaque and the potatoes are tender.
- Carefully remove the skewers from the grill.
- Serve with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste.
- Feel free to add other seafood like scallops or fish.
- For a spicy twist, add jalapeño slices or a dash of hot sauce to the olive oil.
- If metal skewers are available, they do not require soaking.
