This recipe can be used for turkey, pork, or beef kabobs. Cooking time the same. For shrimp or seafood kabobs reduce cooking time to 6 to 7 minutes or until opaque. Cutting fish slightly smaller than the peppers and onion will reduce sticking.

Cook’s Tip

If you have leftover peppers and onion, grill them with the kabobs. To prevent them falling through the grate, use a skewer or grill on a sheet of aluminum foil.
