Title: Kabobs
Post by: Eastex on February 11, 2013, 07:07:27 AM: Did some plain regular kabobs , nothing fancy. Boiled the corn and potatoes a little bit before putting them on the grill with the idea that they would be ready when the shrimp and Conecuh sausage was. That was the theory, in reality the corn was just right but the potatoes weren't quite there. No biggie though, they just went back to the grill to finish and we'll have them tonight. Kabobs were basted with some butter and dusted with Tony Chacheres.

The potatoes needed to cook a little longer, they were great the next night. Some bigger shrimp wouldn't have been bad either but you go with what you've got sometimes.

I can see a ring where they were cooked sufficiently in the picture. You need to pre-cook them before putting them on the skewer to match the cooking time with other stuff. I did broccoli, potatoes and burger patties last night and the potatoes went on first to get a head start. Otherwise it all looks pretty good. :D

Post by: Eastex on February 19, 2013, 04:34:14 AM: Yeah, with the shrimp you basically need to totally cook the potatoes because of the short time for the shrimp. Next go around I'm just going to do the potatoes and everything else on their own skewers because we served it like a regular shrimp boil and just made a big pile in the middle of the table. Hmmmm grilled crawfish???
