Ingredients

Skewers

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on or off
  • 2 ears corn, cut into 1-inch rounds
  • 1 pound baby potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Old Bay Butter

  • 6 tablespoons Challenge Butter, salted or unsalted
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated or minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

For Serving

  • lemon wedges

Directions

  • 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook for 10–12 minutes, until just fork-tender. During the last 3–4 minutes, add the corn. Drain and let cool slightly.

  • 2

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400–425°F. Oil the grates.

  • 3

    Thread the shrimp, corn, and potatoes onto skewers, alternating the ingredients. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with Old Bay and black pepper.

  • 4

    Make the Old Bay butter. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the Challenge Butter. Stir in the Old Bay seasoning, garlic, and lemon juice until combined.

  • 5

    Grill the skewers for 3–4 minutes per side, turning once or twice, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the corn and potatoes are lightly charred.

  • 6

    During the last 1–2 minutes of grilling, brush the skewers with some of the Old Bay butter and turn once more, just until glossy.

  • 7

    Transfer the skewers to a platter and drizzle or brush with the remaining Old Bay butter. Serve warm with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Parboiling the potatoes and corn first helps everything cook evenly on the grill without overcooking the shrimp.
  • Smoked sausage is delicious here too. If using, add 12 ounces sliced smoked sausage to the skewers with the shrimp, corn, and potatoes.
  • Old Bay seasoning already contains salt, so taste before adding any extra salt, especially if using salted butter.
