Grilled Chicken and Shrimp Skewers -

Ingredients

Kebabs

3-4 chicken breasts cut into 1 inch cubes
18-20 medium easy peel shrimp tails removed
2 bell peppers green, red, yellow or orange
1 white onion
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 pineapple cut into 1 inch cubes

Chicken Marinade

1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp honey dijon mustard
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tbsp minced garlic

Shrimp Marinade

Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup butter melted
2 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the kebabs, Veggies & Fruit

If using bamboo skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 15 minutes before assembling and grilling, although overnight would be much better. The bamboo skewers will burn on the grill if not soaked beforehand.
Wash and dry all produce. Cut the bell peppers, onion, and pineapple into 1 inch pieces. No need to cut the cherry tomatoes. Store in the fridge until it is time to assemble the kebabs.

To make the Chicken Skewers

Wash and pat dry the chicken breasts. Cut into 4 inch cubes and add to a large ziplock bag.
In a small-medium bowl, make the marinade by combining the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey dijon mustard and minced garlic. Once thoroughly combined, pour it over the chicken in the ziplock bag and seal it up. Place in the fridge to marinade for an hour or overnight.
Once the chicken has finished marinating in the fridge, assemble the kebabs by alternating between veggies, chicken and fruit (Bell pepper, onion, chicken, pineapple, tomato).
Add the kebabs to a medium-high pre-heated grill and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, continuing to rotate them until they've reached a total grilling time of 15-18 minutes.

To make the Shrimp Skewers

Wash and dry the shrimp and remove the tails if not already removed.
Assemble the shrimp skewers by alternating between veggies, shrimp and fruit (bell pepper, onion, shrimp, pineapple, tomato). Be sure to pierce the shrimp in two places so they don't fall off while grilling.
While the shrimp kebabs are grilling, add the lemon juice, butter and garlic to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until the butter is completely melted.
Once the shrimp kebabs are done grilling, lightly brush both sides of the skewers with the lemon sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

You can assemble the skewers using any combination of veggies, meat and fruit. Each skewer can be made different. You can double stack the chicken, omit the tomatoes, create a combo of shrimp and chicken or anything else. The options are endless!
