Grilled Shrimp and Sausage Skewers with Smoky Paprika Glaze image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 15

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
12 uncooked extra-large shrimp (13 to 15 per pound), peeled, deveined

Steps:

These skewers were a little bland for my taste. I would add more seasoning to the glaze next time.

I made these skewers for my family last night and they loved them. The glaze was a little too spicy for my kids, but my husband and I thought it was perfect.
