Cajun Shrimp Kabobs
How’s your summer going? We are having lots of fun and had an especially nice 4th of July. My Mom and all the kids joined us “up north” for a festive long weekend. We swam, watched fireworks and went used furniture shopping for my daughter’s first solo apartment!
With all of its fun activities, though, summer can mean conflicts between soaking up relaxation and moving goals (or dinner!) forward. So, I was happy to have these easy Cajun Shrimp Kabobs waiting in the wings. Perfect with a side of Crock Pot Red Beans and Rice.
Sometimes you can have it all!
Yes, easy is the goal with these. Just assemble. Sprinkle with spices. Then grill. Summer is too short to marinade!
With tasty spices and andouille sausage, Cajun Shrimp Kabobs are not just easy–they are loaded with flavor. And adding shrimp means you can serve them for special occasions. Or to a picky teenager home from college. Not naming any names…
Can I say “the living is easy” just one more time???
