12 oz andouille sausage, thickly sliced (or kielbasa/chicken sausage)
Petite potatoes, about 1 lb
Corn rounds or small corn on the cob pieces
Bell peppers
red onion
zucchini
cherry tomatoes
button mushrooms
lemon juice
extra-virgin olive oil
minced garlic
chopped fresh parsley
dried oregano
kosher salt
black pepper
paprika

Tony Chachereβs Bold Creole Seasoning
Unsalted butter

Instructions
1-Parboil the corn and potatoes: Parboil petite potatoes for 12 to 15 minutes until just tender, adding corn rounds for the last 5 minutes; drain and cool before threading.
2-Assemble the skewers: Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes or use metal. Thread 1 to 2-inch cubes of seafood and vegetables, leaving small gaps for heat circulation. Brush lightly with oil and season.
3-Make the crab boil garlic butter: Melt 1 stick unsalted butter with 2 tablespoons crab boil seasoning and 4 minced garlic cloves. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes; add a squeeze of lemon if desired. Use for basting and dipping.
4-Grill the skewers: Preheat grill to medium-high (400-450Β°F). Grill skewers 8 to 10 minutes total, turning once or twice and basting with garlic butter. Shrimp cooks 2-3 minutes per side; firmer fish 4-5 minutes. Seafood is done when shrimp are pink and opaque, scallops firm, and fish flakes easily.

π Marinate seafood for only 15 to 30 minutesβacidic marinades left longer will start to break down delicate proteins and make them mushy.
π§» Pat all seafood completely dry before grilling so it sears properly instead of steaming.
π’ Use two parallel skewers per serving to keep pieces from spinning when you flip them on the grill.
