Cook the meat on one skewer and the veggies on another skewer since the cooking time is so different.

This has always been my problem with kabobs. I don't see the point because of this very factor.

I like the look of them with the veggies and meat on the kabob and I like the flavor when the veggie cooks up against the kabob, but the veggies are never cooked enough when the protein is done. I've actually cooked the veggie kabobs first, de-kabobed them and reloaded them on the raw meat/shrimp kabobs, finally cooking the entire kabob together. Looks pretty, but not worth the trouble.

Suggestions?

Making ka-roberts isn't worth the aesthetic aspect you get by sacrificing basic tenets of cooking.

Scallop kabob with mushrooms. Marinade the scallops with a little metled butter, lemon juice, salt/pepper. yum.

I do several types. Bacon wrapped shrimp with bell peppers, onions, and pineapple on it. Beef kabobs with bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms. Chicken with bell pepper, onion, zucchini. Just marinate your meats in different zip locks with what ever seasoning you want.

I cook kabobs often and I had trouble with the cooking times at first, but I have changed how I cut up the meat and veggies to help - make thick cubes of meat and cut peppers in smaller pieces, i usually cut mushrooms in half, etc.

Also, I cut my skewers in half to make it easier to move them around on the grill - if something is over cooking, move it to a cooler part of the grill and so on. This is also better for serving for groups or at a tailgate - easier to grab a kabob and walk away eating it off the stick.

I like the way the vegetables keep the meat moist and give a good flavor - and it looks pretty.

For LSU games I like to do purple onions, yellow bell peppers, pineapple, mushrooms and chicken marinated in teraki and pineapple juice - show team spirit :)

I use them for meat just because I'm too lazy to flip a bunch of pieces over individually.

That's festive idea.

If I make a shrimp kabob/grilled shrimp sans the veggies, I use the ladder method with two sticks. Easy to turn and lie flat for even cooking.
