Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Did You Know? : 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!
  • Tip 2
    Success: Leaving a little space between the shrimp, scallops and vegetables will help your kabobs cook more evenly.
