Notes
- If using wood skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to ensure they don't burn.
- Cooked shrimp kabobs can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the grill or in a frying pan.
- Oven: You can also broil kabobs in the oven. Place the shrimp kabobs on a foil-lined pan 4 to 6 inches under the broiler. Broil on high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until cooked.
