SUMMER TIME SKEWERS! LET'S GET GRILLING.

The grill is no longer just for meat or men! C'mon ladies this is something anyone can do.

For a tasty summer grilled meal you can add in some of your favorite fruits and vegetables that your friends and family will truly love.

Summer time skewers are one of my favorite meals to make. Pretty simple, tasty, and healthy all at the same time.

The Kabobs I chose to make are a combination of chicken and shrimp for the meat and for the veggies I used mushrooms, red onions, and my favorite fruit pineapple.

You will need wood skewers. First you will need to cut boneless, skinless chicken breast into 1-inch pieces. The same will go for the pineapple and red onion. Try to keep your pieces cut in uniform size.

Once all your pieces are cut you will need to place in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Then pour in your favorite marinade into the plastic bag and store in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours

Using tongs remove the pieces of chicken, vegetable pieces, pineapple, and shrimp from the marinade.

Onto the skewers thread 1 piece of chicken, 1 piece of red onion, 1 piece of mushroom, and 1 piece of pineapple.  Do the same thing alternating with shrimp, mushroom, pineapple, and red onion.

Have fun with it.  The vegetarians will love a combo of mushroom, red onion, and pineapple.

Heat your grill to 350-400 degrees F. Keep a side of your unused marinade in a bowl with a brush. Once your kabobs are on the grill you can add a little marinade while you turn over for extra flavoring.

Then when the grill is ready place the chicken kabobs on the grill, cover with grill lid, and cook for 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked throughout, with no pink center, turning occasionally.

Place shrimp kabobs on the grill, cover with grill lid over and cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, and are cooked throughout, turning once.

Remove skewers from the grill and serve immediately. Wala...Amore on the grill!
