Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp and scallops. If using frozen seafood, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • To prevent the seafood from sticking to the skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading.
  • Use a variety of vegetables on your kabobs. Some good options include zucchini, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
  • Season the kabobs generously with your favorite herbs and spices. Some good options include garlic, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Cook the kabobs over medium heat until the seafood is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. This will usually take about 10-12 minutes per side.
  • Serve the kabobs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp and scallop kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. By following these tips, you can make sure that your kabobs are cooked perfectly and full of flavor.
