These kabobs were a lot of work to make and they didn't turn out that great.

I had trouble getting the shrimp and scallops to stay on the skewers. Maybe I should have used metal skewers instead of wooden ones.

These kabobs were a little too salty for my taste, but otherwise they were good.

The marinade for these kabobs is amazing! It really infuses the shrimp and scallops with flavor.

I wasn't sure how the shrimp and scallops would taste together, but I was pleasantly surprised! They complemented each other perfectly.

These kabobs were easy to make and turned out great! I used wooden skewers and grilled them over medium heat for about 10 minutes per side.

I made these kabobs for dinner last night and they were delicious! The marinade was simple but flavorful, and the shrimp and scallops were cooked to perfection.

These kabobs were a hit at my last party! The shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were still crisp and flavorful.
