Expert Tips

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!

Leaving a little space between the shrimp, scallops and vegetables will help your kabobs cook more evenly.

This was really yummy! Make sure you spray your grill or use grilling foil because the scallops are very tender and tend to stick to the grill big time!
