Report
These Shrimp Kabobs are sweet and tangy, succulent morsels that will whisk your taste buds away to the tropics (great for entertaining)! The Hawaiian inspired marinade doubles as the glaze (no double work!), and are a meal-in-one complete with caramelized pineapple and charred bell peppers. These shrimp skewers boasts a grill time of less than 5 minutes or bake them in the oven to enjoy year-round!
