    ★ Tips & FAQs ★

    How to eat a kabob for maximum flavor.

    I'm weird about my bites. Each bite needs to have all the flavors of the dish present. So when I eat these or any kabobs, I try to get a little of ALL the ingredients in one bite. It's doable. I might look like a weirdo with a big mouth full of food doing it, but eh, I think it's worth it.

    While I'm looking like a big-cheeked weirdo, what's happening inside is the grilled grapes are exploding and blending with the pineapple so nicely while shrimp and sweet onion add nice texture and flavor and bacon comes through with the salty goodness you know and love.

    Worth looking like a goofball? Yeah. Def.

    Can you tell I'm really feeling these kebabs? We pretty much had a moment right there. But you're going to see what I mean. Just you wait.

    How do you stop skewers from burning?

    You may have noticed something about that wooden or bamboo skewers—they burn.

    What you need to do is soak the kebab skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before loading them up. This helps prevent them from splintering or burning when loaded with food and placed on the grill to cook.

    What you'll need to make these Hawaiian kebabs:

    Here are a few things that will help you make these successfully: a grill, kabob skewers, basting brush and a non-stick grill pan.
