Grilled Honey Garlic Shrimp Kabobs

“Shrimp are kind of tricky to get right on the grill. They cook pretty fast and if you cook them for too long they become rubbery. The best method I have found for cooking shrimp on the grill is to use to use bamboo skewers. You can just lift up the stick in order to flip it, and only turn it once. If you place each little piece of shrimp on the grill then you will have a lot of overcooked shrimp.” – Jenna
