  • Marinate the seafood: Marinating the seafood in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to enhance the flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
  • Skewer the seafood: Use metal or wooden skewers to skewer the seafood. If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
  • Cook the kabobs over medium heat: Cooking the kabobs over medium heat will help to prevent the seafood from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Serve the kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce: A simple lemon-herb butter sauce or a creamy dill sauce are both great options.
