Shrimp Boil Skewers take everything great about a seafood boil and make it party-ready. These skewers are loaded with juicy shrimp, sweet corn, Andouille sausage, and baby potatoes, all brushed with garlicky Old Bay butter. They’re grilled or roasted until smoky, sizzling, and ready to devour.
You’ll love these because they’re bold, buttery, and perfect for feeding a crowd without the cleanup of a full boil. Serve them hot off the grill or let them cool to room temp—either way, they disappear fast. Great for summer cookouts, backyard parties, or any time you want a hands-on seafood feast.
Helpful Tips
- Precook the potatoes: Boil baby potatoes until just tender before skewering. They’ll crisp up on the grill without being raw inside.
- Use shell-on shrimp: They stay juicier and don’t dry out as quickly on the grill.
- Melted butter + Old Bay = magic: Mix melted butter with garlic and plenty of Old Bay, then brush it on everything before and after grilling.
