Shrimp & Sausage Skewers with Slaw & Black Bean Rice

Shrimp & Sausage Skewers

1 Pkg. Al Fresco Chipotle Chicken Chorizo Sausage With Mango and Adobo

1 Pkg. Raw White Shrimp (51-60 count)

Peel the shrimp, leaving tails on, rinse, and pat dry. Slice the sausage.

Marinade:

1 Bottle Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey Chipotle Barbecue Sauce

1/2 Lime, juiced

1 1/2 tsp. Garlic, chopped

1 Tbsp. Sriracha Hot Sauce

1 Tbsp. Dark Brown Sugar, packed

Place all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until combined.

Skewer the shrimp and sausage so that the shrimp is “hugging” the sausage.

Place in a shallow baking dish and cover with marinade, basting both sides. Let rest for 1 hour.

Creamy Slaw

1 12 oz. Bag Rainbow Slaw (shredded broccoli, cauliflower, & carrots)

3/4 Cup Mayonnaise

1 Red Jalapeno, finely diced seeds in

1  1/2 Tbs. Cilantro, chopped

1 tsp. Ginger, finely grated

1/2 Lime, juiced

About 1/8 – 1/4 Cup Rice Wine Vinegar (I used the Basil & Oregano)

Place all ingredients in bowl and whisk until combined. Pour over slaw and toss until thoroughly coated. Refrigerate for about 1 hour.

Black Bean Rice

1 Cup Rice Select Royal Blend Rice (Texmati White, Brown, Wild & Red)

1 1/2 Cups Gluten-Free Chicken Broth

1 1/2 tsp. Dairy-Free Butter

1/2 tsp. Sea Salt

1 Can 15 oz. Black Beans

Olive Oil

1 Tbsp. Garlic, chopped

1/2 Sweet Yellow Onion, chopped

4 Cremini mushrooms, sliced

2 Tbsp. Oregano, chopped

2 tsp. Dairy-Free Butter

Small squeeze of lime juice.

Combine the rice, chicken broth, 1 1/2 tsp. butter, and sea salt in a medium pan. Follow cooking directions on container of rice blend. Fluff with fork when done. Set aside.

Drain and rinse black beans.

Drizzle about 3 Tbsp. of olive oil into a large skillet. Heat on medium-high. Saute onions, and mushrooms until the onions start to caramelize, add garlic, oregano, and 2 tsps.butter and saute for about 5 more minutes.

Add black beans, toss, add rice, squeeze about 1/2 lime over the top, toss. Cover and set aside.

* Preheat Grill to Medium-High

Grill shrimp skewers until shrimp are done and sausage is heated through. (Sausage comes pre-cooked.) Be careful not to over cook the shrimp.

Serve with Creamy Slaw and Black Bean Rice.
