How To Make the Cowboy Butter Kielbasa and Potato Skewers

Step 1: Prep the Veggies and Sausage

Boil the baby potatoes for 10 minutes until just fork-tender. Cut the corn into thick rounds, slice zucchini into coins, and slice the kielbasa into chunks.

Step 2: Make the Cowboy Butter

Melt butter in a small saucepan and stir in minced garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Taste and adjust spice to preference.

Step 3: Assemble the Skewers

Thread the ingredients onto wooden or metal skewers in a fun, colorful pattern: potato, sausage, corn, zucchini, repeat.

Step 4: Brush and Grill

Brush the skewers generously with cowboy butter. Grill over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, rotating often and brushing with more butter as they cook. Look for caramelized edges and grill marks.

Step 5: Serve Hot

Drizzle any remaining cowboy butter over the cooked skewers and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
