"We love these full-flavored kabobs and fix them often, even in winter," says Gloria Warczak of Cedarburg, Wisconsin. A sweet sauce is used to baste and later serve alongside the colorful combination of sausage, bacon, shrimp, vegetables and pineapple.

Made this recipe on Saturday and loved it. I will absolutely make it again. I used all shrimp and no sausage. Next time I will skip the bacon. Even though I cooked it partially in the microwave before wrapping the mushrooms, it still did not get done, AND it caused the grill to flare up, scorching some of the veggies. I have already shared the recipe with coworkers.

I had high hopes for these kabobs, setting aside the sodium issues, blah blah blah. We all know how to read nutrition information and I really dislike the "police" telling us what we can already read and understand for ourselves.

Anyway. These were ... okay. I followed the recipe almost exactly except for subbing maple syrup for the corn syrup and maple flavoring. I didn't want to buy a bottle of corn syrup just for this one recipe, and a substitution website said you can sub golden syrup or honey in equal proportion to the corn syrup, so I did that.

The biggest problem we had was that the bacon was not cooking as fast as the shrimp. In order to make sure the bacon was not raw, the shrimpgot overdone. And the smokiness of the sausage was overpowering.

I'd eliminate the corn syrup, maple flavoring, and ketchup. It is overkill. I'd like it a lot better with soy sauce, pineapple (unsweetened) juice from the can, garlic,. The bacon is ok for a sometimes use.

the smokes sausage is the high salt and high calorie content in this reipe change it up use lower sodium sausage and your home made barbeque sauce. that way you control the salt and calories. but overall this recipe is all that

Can't believe you're worried about that little bit of calories compared to the very high sodium and carb content!
