Ingredients
The glaze
- ½ cup apricot preserves
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes depending on your heat preference
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh mint
The kabobs
- 1 pound large shrimp peeled, but tails left intact
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 ounces pre-cooked chicken sausage such as sun-dried tomato flavor
- 1 large red onion cut into 24 3-layer sections
Instructions
The glaze
- In a small saucepan, stir together apricot jam, red wine vinegar and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and gently simmer until glaze thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in chopped fresh mint and set aside.
The kabobs
- If using wooden skewers, soak 12 of them in warm water for 30 minutes. Alternatively, use metal skewers.
- Preheat to medium-high heat. Brush the grill with oil (I use avocado oil).
- In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil and kosher salt. Thread shrimp on skewer, alternating with sausage and onion pieces (about 3 shrimp, 3 pieces sausage and 2 pieces onion per skewer).
- Place the kabobs on the grill and cook until shrimp is just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side, brushing on half of the glaze in last 30 seconds.
- Remove the kabobs from the grill, brush with the remaining glaze and serve immediately.
