Tips:

For tender and flavorful kabobs, use a flavorful cut of pork like pork shoulder or tenderloin.
Pork shoulder has more fat, so it will stay moist during grilling. Tenderloin is leaner, so it's important to marinate it before grilling to prevent it from drying out.
Use wooden skewers for your kabobs. Metal skewers can conduct heat too quickly, causing the pork to overcook.
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help prevent them from burning on the grill.
Make sure the pork is cut into evenly sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
Marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help tenderize the pork and add flavor.
Grill the kabobs over medium heat, turning them occasionally, until the pork is cooked through.
Pork is considered safe to eat when its internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
Serve the kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce, or tzatziki sauce.
