Grilled Shrimp and Scallop Kabobs

Grilled Shrimp and Scallop Kabobs
Recipe Tip
Super Shellfish
Shellfish, like shrimp, is a good source of vitamin B-12. Our bodies need B-12 to help break down foods to give us plenty of energy.
Success
Leaving a little space between the shrimp, scallops and vegetables will help your kabobs cook more evenly.
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!
