Grilled Shrimp, Sausage, Mushroom, Pepper Kabobs

This meal was completely made up by me (yay)!    The kabobs were so flavorful and light.  They will definitely become a rotation as we come into summer!!
I did shrimp; mushroom; red pepper and chicken sausage (going for less calories) over brown rice.  (I added sauteed broccoli because I wasn't sure how it would turn out grilled)   It was amazing and everyone came back for seconds!
This is a recipe that can be changed easily to add ingredients for anyone's tastes!  I pre-cooked the sausage last night (about 3/4 cooked) and marinated the other items -
shrimp in olive oil; lemon pepper and a 1/2 teaspoon of garlic;
mushrooms and pepper in lite Italian dressing
I refrigerated everything overnight and pulled them out about 20 minutes before grilling to get to room temperature.

Here's a pic of the kabobs before the grill:

They look so good on the grill!

MMMM - here they are done:

My plate with the shrimp; mushrooms; peppers; sausage and broccoli:

Ingredients:

3/4 lb raw shrimp; peeled and deveined

1 pkg of raw mushrooms - cleaned and de-stemmed

1 red pepper, cut into lengths and small pieces

1 pkg chicken sausage (mine was flavored with pesto...but there are spicier versions)

Italian dressing

Lemon pepper

Olive oil

Garlic

Directions:

Night before 

Sautee sausage about 3/4 through cooking; set aside on paper towels to drain and cool.  

Peel and devein shrimp; cut pepper and clean/ de-stem mushrooms (keep only the tops of mushrooms)

In separate plastic bags, put Italian dressing for any component you want to marinade in it (I did mushrooms and peppers); put lemon pepper seasoning; garlic and olive oil for others ( I did the shrimp in that) and the cooked items (i.e.: sausage - goes in a separate bag)

Refrigerate / Marinate overnite

Night Of:

Soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes in cold water

Preheat oven to about 350 degrees

Load your skewers with your items (I separated half cooked items from raw)

Veggies cook a little longer - so put them on first for about 10 minutes total (rotating throughout)

Shrimp and pre-cooked items take 3-5 minutes (rotating throughout)

I served over brown rice.  It made an amazing meal!
