Shrimp Boil Skewer Appetizers

Shrimp Boil Skewer Appetizers are a fun twist on the classic seafood boil, served party-style. Instead of digging into a big pot, your guests can grab perfectly portioned skewers stacked with juicy shrimp, baby potatoes, corn, and sausage. It’s a bold, flavorful bite that brings coastal vibes to any gathering.

These skewers are great for cookouts, backyard get-togethers, or game day spreads. They’re easy to prep ahead, grill or roast, and serve with your favorite dipping sauces. If you love the smoky, savory flavors of a shrimp boil but want something you can eat with one hand, this is it.

Helpful Tips

• Par-cook the potatoes first: Baby potatoes take longer to cook than shrimp or sausage, so boil them until just tender before skewering.
• Use pre-cooked sausage: Smoked sausage holds up well on the grill and adds that classic boil flavor.
• Brush with seasoned butter: Mix melted butter with Old Bay, garlic, and lemon juice, then brush it on before grilling for extra flavor.
