Great kabbobs! Good tasting, you'll want more. We added some chicken cubes into the mix, doubled everything but the shrimp. Turned out wonderful. This allowed us to have 2 pices of shrimp and chicken on each kabob. This double batch produced 20 kabobs, we only ate 10 and now have leftovers for tomorrow, so even if you follow the recipe, it will feed a family of 5.

Only negative was the prep, this isn't quick, especially when you add in the 2-3 hours of marinating. I made these after work, but we could only marinate for an hour. I'll be making these again.

My aunt and I didn't marinate it for 2-3 hours, but for at least an hour and it was sooo good. I couldn't believe how much I ate.

These are really good. The shrimp is a nice change of pace from regular kabob recipes.
