Directions
1Whisk together the vinegar, parsley, garlic, lemon, paprika, cayenne, cumin, coriander, black pepper, and oil. Toss in the shrimp. Cover, refrigerate and marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes or more
2Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread alternating pieces of shrimp, sausage, peppers, and onion onto 8 6-inch skewers. Pro Tip: It's easiest if you skewer the shrimp through the head and tail forming a "c" so they don't fall through the grill
3Grill, turning once, until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 6 minutes
4Serve immediately with any sauce you desire. Pro Tip: Soak wooden skewers for 20 minutes before using them on the grill to keep them from getting burnt. Optional sides: rice and beans
