Shrimp and Chicken Skewers
Nothing signals the start of summer more loudly than the smell of a freshly fired up grill! There are so many different foods you can prepare on the grill - burgers, cauliflower steaks, roasted veggies, BBQ chicken, and more; but one of our favorites are kabobs! What's not to love about a meal on a stick? Minimal mess, maximum flavor, and endless variety! Today, we've done chicken and shrimp skewers with a few of our favorite grilled veggies: zucchini, bell peppers, and tomatoes. But you can absolutely mix and match your favorite proteins and veggies (steak and mushrooms, chicken and broccoli, and so much more)! This dinner's a winner for even the pickiest of eaters. So go ahead and get the whole family skewering and start your Summer off on a healthy and delcious note! #grill
