Expert Tips

Leaving a little space between the shrimp, scallops and vegetables will help your kabobs cook more evenly.

The exact heat of the grill or coals, as well as the outside temperature and wind, can affect your grilling time. Keep a close eye on those kabobs--they may be done before you know it!
