- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add garlic and cook just until fragrant (one minute), then add Cajun seasoning. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- Skewer leftover potatoes, corn and shrimp. (I used 2 shrimp per skewer, one or two pieces of corn and 3 or 4 pieces of potato.)

- Brush with Cajun garlic butter while warm. Serve immediately.

Notes
*If you don't have leftover potatoes and you are starting with raw, put them on the grill for 15 - 18 minutes. Let them cool enough to handle. Slice into smaller pieces, then skewer with corn and shrimp.
Proceed with recipe.
