1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp. dried thyme or 1 tblsp. fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 tblsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp. finely chopped fresh garlic
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
For kebabs:

Pour the marinade over them and let stand for 15 minutes. Alternately skewer shrimp, meats and vegetables. Grill on medium hot barbecue grill or indoor/stove top grill, turning often, until chicken is cooked through and shrimp have turned pink, about 10 minutes. While kebabs are grilling, prepare the couscous by following the package directions, substituting any seasoning mix and/or water with the same amount of canned chicken broth and the celery. Cook following the package directions. Fluff with fork and empty into a serving bowl and sprinkle with the remaining fresh parsley. As a compliment to the spicy flavors, serve with a red wine such as vqav Zinfandel or Merlot.

I'm not a huge fan of jambalaya, but these kabobs were surprisingly good. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was just the right amount of spicy.

This Cajun jambalaya kabobs recipe is a keeper! The flavors are amazing and the kabobs are so juicy and tender. I love that you can make them ahead of time and then just grill them when you're ready to eat.
