Sausage Shrimp Kabobs

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Grill: 10 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
We love these full-flavored kabobs and fix them often, even in winter. A sweet sauce is used to baste and later serve alongside the colorful combination of sausage, bacon, shrimp, vegetables and pineapple. —Gloria Warczak, Cedarburg, Wisconsin
