Mouthwatering Shish Kebabs
Ingredients:
- Meats of your choice: chicken breast, beef steak, ham, shrimp, or smoked sausage
- Fresh veggies: Bell peppers, onions, cherry tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, mushrooms, apples, and pineapple
- Vegetable or olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Additional tools:
- Metal or wooden skewers
- Meat thermometer
- A heat source: your portable flat top grill, your RV’s outdoor kitchen, or the campfire!
Let’s get going!
- If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in a pitcher of water for 30 minutes before grilling. This will keep them from blackening and burning.
- Cut all ingredients that you’re using into bite-size chunks.
- Thread your ingredients onto the skewer and alternate veggies with meats. This is a great kid-friendly recipe and everyone can build their own kebab based on the flavors they like!
- Drizzle lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Grill until meat is cooked through, and a meat thermometer can help ensure your meat is fully cooked and safe to eat. Safe cooking temps are as follows:
Beef: 155
Pork: 160
Chicken: 165
