It’s time to put a new spin on this classic backyard grilling staple with some advice from the experts in Kebabs. These grillers traveled the planet and found the best skewered meals it had to offer.

Everyone loves grilling up kebabs, but it’s easy to fall into the mushroom, pepper, chicken/beef rut. In Kebabs, Derrick Riches and Sabrina Baksh take this quick and easy grilling method for a brand new spin.

They traveled the backroads of the Barbecue Belt and studied street-food stalls where skewered, grilled foods are most famous, like Greece, Turkey and the Middle East, India, and even Japan (yakitori) and France (brochettes).

There are ample recipes for beef, chicken, fish and seafood, vegetables, and even fruit, plus vegan substitutions are included for meat recipes. Kebabs includes plenty of technique guidance, too. Are metal or wood skewers better for grilling? Do you really need to soak wooden skewers before cooking?

Not to mention a myriad of rubs, sauces, and mops that make kebabs optimally flavorful and moist, Kebabs makes backyard grilling more globally adventuresome, and flavorful, than it’s been before — all with minimal prep time and effort.

Place about 5 to 8 shrimp per skewer, depending on type of skewer being used. Discard any marinade remaining in the bag.Place the kebabs on the grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side.Remove the kebabs from the grill and serve. Kebabs Coconut-Curry Marinade

It is the mild curry flavor with the slight creaminess of the coconut milk that gives these shrimp all their greatness. While this recipe is perfect as an appetizer, the shrimp are perfect in salads or served over hot rice.
