Ingredients

• 8 ounces Andouille sausage
• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 12 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large White onion
• 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water

Directions

Step 1

Cut the Andouille sausage into 1-inch slices.

Step 2

Dice the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

Cut the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and white onion into 1-inch pieces.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning blend.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken, shrimp, sausage, and vegetables with olive oil and the seasoning blend until everything is evenly coated.

Step 6

Thread the ingredients onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between chicken, shrimp, sausage, bell peppers, onion, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking. The shrimp should be pink and opaque, the chicken fully cooked through, and the vegetables slightly charred.

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with a side of rice or enjoy as is for a handheld Cajun-inspired dish.
