Nice looking sausage Devo. I'm a little confused though. You said 5# of 80/15 pork. What's the other 5%? ::)

[devo]

Typo I guess  ;D
85/15

[Stickbowcrafter]

I noticed you put cure #1 in the sausage. You gonna smoke it then grill it? Also with seafood such as shrimp that spoil so fast and easy. I would suggest cooking them first before adding them to your sausage. Just to be safe.

As for the cure #1 it was in the recipe seemore had posted. I don't plan on smoking them but added it anyway. It should give a darker colour to the sausage when cooked.

I thought about cooked shrimp but they are so easy to over cook. You really have to be careful not to turn them into rubber jelly beans. These will not last long enough to spoil, was going to save them in the freezer for summer time but they are not going to last the week.
