Baked Grilled Shrimp and Andouille Skewers

1 pound raw medium shrimp, peeled, tails intact
1 pound andouille sausage, cut into 1 inch slices
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 red onion
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
6 cups cooked rice
1/2 cup fresh parsley

Dipping Sauce:

4 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard


(6 long metal skewers)

Place shrimp, slices of andouille,cherry tomatoes, and red onion securely onto metal skewers. Place skewers on a lipped baking sheet. Brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and Old Bay. Preheat broiler, and place in oven on middle rack, not too close to the broiler flame, and roil for 10-12 minutes, turning once. Cook rice according to package directions. Turn off broiler and adjust oven to 350 degrees and continue to bake for several more minutes if needed. Remove from oven and place skewers on serving platter over hot rice. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with honey mustard dipping sauce on the side. Serves 6.

I did this on my outside grill. We have a Shoreline grill and it cooks kinda like an oven. It was a big hit!
