Shrimp Boil Kabobs
The classic shrimp boil is transformed into the tastiest kabobs yet! Can be grilled or baked and prepped in advance! Easy, right?
It was the first official day of summer today as it reached 100 degrees F here in LA.
Way to kick off the season, right?
We might as well do summer correctly, and throw these kabob onto the grill in this heatwave. We just have to.
Now these are perfect for those summer get-togethers since you can assemble all of these beforehand. Just be sure to keep the butter mixture separately from the assembled skewers.
And thanks to Reynolds handy foil, grilling is even more of a breeze so we have more time to sip on these strawberry pineapple mojitos.

They actually look a lot different to me. She used lemon garlic butter thyme seafood seasoning chicken sausage and she used sliced potatoes – I mean it’s not like you came up with the idea of a boil packet it’s been done plenty and all the recipes are pretty similar. Check food network and others. It’s like you tweaked your old recipe to be more like her recipe. Just sayin. And for the record I’ve noticed you copying her all the time.
Sarah, you’re right – a foil packet is the most genius idea ever to be created but it surely was not invented by me. But you accused me of using her recipe – yes, I did tweak an old recipe of mine but I have never seen her recipe until you mentioned something. But thanks for your feedback!
Sorry some people are haters- but props to you for being positive!!!! Love all your recipes – even tweaked old ones
Sarah – try to be positive- it’s actually harder than being a mean troller.
This looks exactly like the recipe cooking classy just posted but it’s on a scewer.
That’s really funny that you mention that because the recipe she posted looks similar to my foil packets, posted in August 2015.

Should the butter be melted?
Yes.
I hope I didn’t overlook it, but if baking what is the temp and time recommendation? Thanks!!
This can be baked for 12-15 minutes at 425 degrees F.
