Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer BBQ recipe featuring smoky and spicy andouille sausage paired with sweet grilled corn, all glazed with a zesty Old Bay butter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked and cleaned
  • 12 oz andouille sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers (enough for 8-10 skewers)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter with Old Bay seasoning and garlic powder. Stir until well blended and set aside.
  3. Husk and clean the corn, removing silk threads. Cut each ear into 3-4 chunks, about 2 inches each.
  4. Slice the andouille sausage into 1-inch thick rounds.
  5. Alternate threading corn chunks and sausage slices onto each skewer, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
  6. Lightly season the assembled skewers with salt and pepper.
  7. Place skewers perpendicular to the grill grates and close the lid. Grill for 4-5 minutes.
  8. Flip the skewers using tongs and brush generously with the Old Bay butter. Grill for another 4-5 minutes with the lid closed.
  9. Repeat turning and basting once more, grilling until corn is tender and slightly charred and sausage is heated through with crispy edges, about 12-15 minutes total.
  10. Remove skewers from grill and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Use softened butter for easy mixing and even coating. Turn skewers every 4-5 minutes to avoid burning and ensure even cooking. If flare-ups occur, move skewers to a cooler part of the grill and close the lid. For dairy-free option, substitute butter with vegan spread or olive oil. Adjust Old Bay seasoning to taste or substitute with smoked paprika and cayenne for milder spice.
