These fun and colorful kebabs are a great way to serve up the flavors of a shrimp boil from the grill. Skewer boiled baby potatoes with shell-on shrimp, corn and kielbasa, all tossed with Old Bay seasoning, melted butter and garlic. Quickly grill, then serve with more Old Bay and lemon wedges.

  1. Soak 8 wooden skewers (10 to 12 inches long) in water for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add the lemon half, smashed garlic, bay leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain, discarding the lemon, garlic and bay leaves. Let the potatoes cool.
  2. Meanwhile, use kitchen shears to cut through the backs of the shrimp shells. Devein, leaving the shells on.
  3. Preheat a grill to medium-high and oil the grates. Combine the shrimp, kielbasa, corn and potatoes in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, grated garlic and Old Bay. Toss, then thread onto the skewers, alternating ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Grill the kebabs, flipping once, until charred and the shrimp are just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter and brush with the melted butter. Sprinkle with more Old Bay and serve with the lemon wedges.
