Honey Chipotle Shrimp & Kielbasa Kabobs

IT Guy just fixed my grill for me...just in time for summer! And to reward him for a job well done, I fixed him a steak. And since I'd rather have shrimp than steak, I decided to make me some kabobs! I threw some kielbasa in for good measure...then spiced things up a little bit with some chipotle barbeque sauce. These were SO good! And SO simple! They only took a matter of minutes to cook since shrimp only take a matter of minutes to cook. Funny how that worked out, huh? Kielbasa is fully cooked...just needs to be browned. So next time you've got your grill fired up, think about these! They're yummy!

Honey Chipotle Shrimp 
and Kielbasa Kabobs



1 pound large shrimp ~ cleaned and deveined
1 pound kielbasa sausage
1 green bell pepper ~ chunked
1 medium red onion ~ large dice
1 cup chipotle barbeque sauce ~ recipe follows

Soak bamboo skewers in water for about 10 minutes.

Thread ingredients onto skewers.

Season with salt & pepper if deisred.

Brush lightly with BBQ sauce.

Grill over medium flame until shrimp are cooked...about 3 minutes per side. 

Brush with BBQ sauce a few times while grilling then once more after you take them off.


Honey Chipotle BBQ Sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 1/2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Place all ingredients in a food processor and combine until smooth. (You probably won't use all of this. Store unused sauce in the fridge.)

Okay....here's the stuff for the kabobs. 

Just dice the green pepper and the onion 

and cut the kielbasa into large chunks.

Then thread everything onto 

a soaked bamboo skewer.

Now for the sauce.

Place everything into a blender 

or food processor....

and whizz until smooth.

Then brush the kabobs with some 

of the sauce. I poured some of the 

sauce into a separate bowl since I 

was working with raw seafood and 

didn't want to contaminate ALL of 

the sauce. Place unused sauce in a 

covered container in your fridge.

Grill these babies UP!!!!
