Oh WOW, Sharon, these are super delicious! Firstly, I kept tasting the sauce to make sure it was OK.....The skewers were totally awesome! The green onion threads were a great "gilding the lily." Thnx for sharing your recipe. Glad I got the opportunity to "adopt" you twice! Made for PAC Spring 2010.

This was a very good recipe. I left out the onions, allergic, but enjoyed the dipping sauce and combination of sausage with shrimp. We had a Tappas-style Labor Day and this recipe worked in well with the rest of our "nibbles". I used a Creole-style andouille, so the stone ground mustard was perfect. Thanks for posting Sharon!
