- 3 smoked bratwursts (about 12 ounces)
- 1⁄2 cup apple jelly
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon liquid smoke
directions
- Soak bamboo skewers in water to cover for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat grill for direct grilling over medium high heat or preheat broiler with rack about 4 inches from heat source.
- In small bowl, toss shrimp with oil to coat. Cut bratwurst into 16 slices. Thread tail of a shrimp onto a skewer, then add 1 slice of bratwurst, and finish with the other end of the shrimp (so that shrimp curves around the sausage). Repeat until you have 4 shrimp & bratwurst slice pairs on each skewer.
- Combine apple jelly, brown sugar and liquid smoke in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat in microwave on high for 1 minute or until melted -OR- stir ingredients together in small saucepan and heat on low until melted.
- Place skewers on hot grill or a foil-lined broiler pan. Cook 4-6 minutes turning once, or until shrimp start to turn pink. Brush apple jelly mixture on both sides of shrimp and cook 1 minute longer on each side until shrimp turns opaque throughout and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

I'm a transplant from Alabama now living in a St. Louis, MO suburb. After many years as a senior consultant, I had to have major surgery with a long recovery period, which is when I found your site. What a thrill!!
I spent many years collecting cook books before losing them all (including my Mom's recipes) in a house fire. I still collect books when I can, but more often I frequent 'Zaar and get the best recipes!
I rate the recipes I really love, which is why most of my ratings are high. So far I haven't encountered a recipe I didn't like where I didn't change something in the original, and I don't think it fair to give a low rating under those circumstances.
