Cajun Butter Shrimp & Sausage Skewers
We love these skewers for many reasons: they’re FULL of flavor, they’re hearty, and most of all, they provide the PERFECT bite. Sausage + shrimp = a match made in Cajun heaven. It’s like Jamalaya on a stick! If you dig this, you gotta add cajun butter pasta to your list—another sure-fire winner.
