Easy Barbecue Shrimp and Sausage Recipe
To prepare our Barbecue Shrimp and Sausage recipe, coat the bottom of a large sauté pan with Olive Oil and warm it over medium heat for about two minutes. Simmer the Olive Oil with minced garlic for another minute and then add the sausage medallions, cooking them for three or four minutes. Finally, add the peeled shrimp to the sauté pan and cook them until they are fully cooked.
Sauté the shrimp and sausage for four minutes, and turn the shrimp and sausage over. After turning the shrimp and sausage, continue sautéing for another four minutes. The sausage medallions should get a little bit browned on the outside. Browning the sausage will bring out more of the flavor.
Serves 4. Cook time: 8 to 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound of peeled shrimp
- 1 pound of smoked sausage cut into medallions
- 2 tablespoons of minced garlic
- Olive Oil
- Barbecue Sauce
Purchase Pans for Sauteing or Blackening
For those who prefer grilled shrimp, thread them onto skewers along with sausages and grill them. Before grilling, brush the shrimp and sausage medallions with Olive Oil and minced garlic. Place them on the grill and cook everything over medium heat for about three to four minutes. Turn the skewers over and cook for an additional three or four minutes. Once done, brush them with warm barbecue sauce and serve.
How to make Barbecue Shrimp Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 cups of ketchup
- 1 tablespoon of white vinegar
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
Combine ketchup, white vinegar, and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat to make our barbecue sauce sauce. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is well blended.

Before starting to cook the shrimp and sausage, prepare the barbecue sauce. Then, add the barbecue sauce to the cooked shrimp and sausage and cook everything over low heat for three to five more minutes. Finally, serve the barbecue shrimp and sausage with a side dish of your choice.
