TIPS:

• Shrimp easily get cooked in less time; when it turns pink quickly remove the skewers from the grill.
• Utilize pre-cooked sausages with the shrimp; as shrimp get cooked fast and sausage take more time to cook so shrimp will get overcooked.
• Cajun seasoning already has salt in it; so always add the salt after tasting because it becomes very salty sometimes.
• You should use unsalted butter for the above reason.
