Cut each sausage into 9 slices so that you have 36 pieces. Thread one slice on each skewer, cut-side facing out. Thread a shrimp onto skewer so it curls around sausage. Repeat with 4 more sausage slices and 4 more shrimp per skewer. Cap each skewer with a final slice of sausage. Each skewer should have 6 slices of sausage and 5 shrimp.
-
Brush both sides of each skewer with the butter mixture. Grill over direct heat until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
