# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, rice vinegar, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Adjust thickness by adding more chili paste if desired.
02 -
Cut the smoked sausage into ¾ inch thick slices, aiming for about 24 pieces.
03 -
Thread onto each soaked wooden skewer a slice of sausage, a jalapeno ring, a shrimp, then a chunk of red bell pepper. Repeat the sequence until the skewer holds about 16 pieces.
04 -
Sprinkle garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the assembled skewers.
05 -
Heat the grill to medium heat and lightly spray or oil the grates to prevent sticking.
06 -
Place skewers on the grill and brush with the chili glaze. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side, brushing again halfway through, until shrimp are opaque and peppers soften.
07 -
Remove from grill, drizzle with additional lemon juice, and serve immediately.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Skewers can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until grilling to save preparation time.
02 -
Soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes prevents burning on the grill.
