- Cut the shrimp, pineapple, or other variations into equal-sized pieces so that everything cooks evenly.
- To achieve the perfect grill, keep the heat on medium-high and be careful with the skewers, as shrimp tend to cook quickly.
- If you’re making multiple batches, keep the cooked skewers covered in foil in the oven to keep them from drying out.
