The Best Shrimp Kabobs Tips
Super easy, these kabobs are going to be new family favorite. Shrimp kabobs are super easy to make and create for the best dinner!
- Shrimp: You can use fresh or frozen shrimp with success. In fact, you do not even have to thaw the shrimp before marinating. The important part will be to make sure it is deveined.
- Skewers: I used metal skewers which are wonderful to just throw in the dishwasher and reuse. If you are using wooden skewers, soaked them in water for about 15-20 minutes to help keep them from burning.
- How do you know Shrimp is done? When the shrimp turns from a gray flabby color and texture to a pink, opaque, firm flesh with a red tail, your shrimp is done. Shrimp cooks fast so keep your eye on it. Do not overcook shrimp, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Vegetables: Your vegetables may not be as done as you’d like but you do not want to overcook the shrimp. You can keep your shrimp and vegetables separate on different skewers so you can keep grilling the vegetables if needed.
- Give it space: You do not want to squish your ingredients together on your skewers. Give them space so that they grill evenly and all the way around.
- Variations: Add sausages, mushrooms, eggplant, or other vegetables to mix it up.
- Cook: You can pan cook this on your stovetop on medium-high heat. Cook till the shrimp and vegetables are done.

You can use any other part of salmon, like salmon steaks which are cheaper, or any other fish that suits your budget and location. You can also make this with prawns or chicken instead of fish. For prawns, start baking the vegetables earlier and add the prawns in the last 5 minutes as they don’t need much time to cook. For chicken, it’s the other way around. Slice the chicken fillets into thinner strips and bake for 5 minutes before adding the vegetables, then cook for 15 more minutes together, so a total of 20 minutes for thin strips of chicken.
