Grilled Shrimp, Sausage, Mushroom and Red Pepper Kabobs

I have to share this recipe that I made up entirely by myself (yay me!).  It was so good and light - perfect for adding to the rotation as we come into summer!  You can easily switch out the ingredients to your liking. -mom2brs

Grilled Shrimp; Sausage; Mushroom & Red Pepper Kabobs
mom2brs

Ingredients:

3/4 lb raw shrimp; peeled and deveined

1 pkg of raw mushrooms - cleaned and de-stemmed

1 red pepper, cut into lengths and small pieces

1 pkg chicken sausage (mine was flavored with pesto...but there are spicier versions)

Italian dressing

Lemon pepper

Olive oil

Garlic

Directions:

Night before 

Sautee sausage about 3/4 through cooking; set aside on paper towels to drain and cool.  

Peel and devein shrimp; cut pepper and clean/ de-stem mushrooms (keep only the tops of mushrooms)

In separate plastic bags, put Italian dressing for any component you want to marinade in it (I did mushrooms and peppers); put lemon pepper seasoning; garlic and olive oil for others ( I did the shrimp in that) and the cooked items (i.e.: sausage - goes in a separate bag)

Refrigerate / Marinate overnite

Night Of:

Soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes in cold water

Preheat oven to about 350 degrees

Load your skewers with your items (I separated half cooked items from raw)

Veggies cook a little longer - so put them on first for about 10 minutes total (rotating throughout)

Shrimp and pre-cooked items take 3-5 minutes (rotating throughout)

I served over brown rice.  It made an amazing meal!
