These kabobs were a little bland for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

My kabobs didn't turn out as nicely as the ones in the picture, but they still tasted great. I think I overcooked the shrimp a bit.

I used pre-cooked shrimp to save time, and the kabobs still turned out great. The sweet potato was a nice change from the usual veggie kabobs.
