Favorite Grilling Skewers & Other Awesome Grill & BBQ Stuff:
Here’s some of the favorites for grilling skewers and beyond:
Stainless Steel Kebab Skewers: Our skewer go-to. No more soaking to keep the skewers from burning. The flat edge makes flipping easy.
Grilling Wire Skewers– The flexibility of the wire skewers makes it easy to wrap the skewers onto the best part of the grill. Perfect for skewers you are going to remove from the skewer after grilling and serve plated or in tacos or other delicious dishes.
Grill Baskets – Some days we just don’t want to bother with skewering every single thing. Throw them all into a basket and grill from there. Easy-peasy.
The Ultimate BBQ Tongs –Avoid BBQ Tool Sets. We’ve yet to find a set where we love everything in it. Either the spatula or the tongs or the brush is wonky. Or there is stuff in there I never need. Do yourself a favor and just buy what you need a la carte. For grilling tongs, these bad boys are awesome.
Meathead: The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling –Have a grilling or BBQ question, you’ll most likely find an answer here. The most comprehensive grilling & BBQ book we’ve ever found, by far. He breaks down the science and myths, the tools, solid recipes, perfecting techniques, what’s BBQ competition tricks aren’t worth the extra time at home, and much more. You will be grill & BBQ enlightened.
Oasity BBQ Light –Grilling should never be confined to the daylight. Love this BBQ light. Good brightness, solid magnets plus clamp option. We’ve gone through 1/2 dozen different grilling lights before falling in love with this one. Be ready to grill all night long.
Oklahoma Joe’s Reverse Flow Offset Smoker –Love this offset smoker. Solid construction. Isn’t perfect, but with a couple easy modifications it will smoke as well as the $1k + smokers. Can use the main chamber also as a regular charcoal grill. Love using it as a regular grill using lump charcoal or briquettes. Huge cooking surface.
Charbroil 4-burner Gas Grill –One of the best for the money. Solid gas grill! Nothing like the quick convenience of a good gas grill.
OXO Large Silicon Basting Brush –Love these basting brushes. Clean up easy, holds a solid amount of sauce. They are our basting go-to’s.

5 Comments on “Grilled Chipotle Shrimp Skewers with Veggies”
Delicious! We cooked over the grill in a basket(skipped the skewers). Served in tortilla bowl and used hickory smoked chipotle salt instead of plain kosher salt. Great flavor with a little heat.
Thanks Kris! So glad you enjoyed the recipe. LOVED the smoked chipotle.
I’m completely in love with this skewers recipe. My whole family keeps asking me to grill it every weekend.
I’m so in love with these shrimp skewers. It’s so flavorful! I’ll be grilling these all summer long.
Really awesome skewers. The whole family loved the flavors and on our regular rotation. We used really large tiger shrimp and they took a few minutes longer to cook.
