Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have time to marinate the skewers for 30 minutes, you can marinate them for as little as 15 minutes. However, the longer you marinate them, the more flavorful they will be.
- If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the kabobs with your favorite sides, such as rice, naan bread, or salad.
