Skewers are our favorite all-in-one summer dinner. They’re easy to prepare in advance, with so many fun combinations and ways to mix up your proteins and veggies. From a butter-basted shrimp skewer to Greek-inspired meatballs, here’s a handful of kebabs to grill up before summer is over.
Grilled Steak Skewers with Chimichurri
Transform steak cubes into something extraordinary by topping them with a fiery and piquant sauce from Delish. The vibrant chimichurri, which can be prepped ahead of time, is the ideal condiment for roasted potatoes, a natural accompaniment to this entrée.
Grilled White Wings
Originally created for a prince, this recipe for grilled chicken “wings,” featured on the LAZO with Don Strange menu, is royally delicious. Tender chicken breast, spicy jalapeño, and creamy Monterey Jack cheese are all wrapped together in strips of smoked bacon, then skewered and marinated in white wine for a sensational bite-sized meal!
Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Old Bay Butter
This quick-and-easy grill recipe delivers the flavors of a classic shrimp boil on a convenient summer-ready skewer. When grilling shrimp, make sure your grates are super clean. This will give you the best grill marks and ensure that the shrimp don’t stick to the grate. We like to serve these skewers with charred lemons for squeezing and grilled bread for sopping up all of the delicious garlicky Old Bay butter.
Grilled Chicken Fajitas on a Skewer
Mix up your fajita routine with this recipe from Good Housekeeping. By threading everything on skewers, it’s easy to grill more than one protein at the same time. Serve with charred tortillas, lime wedges, and guacamole, of course!
Chicken Caesar Skewers
This recipe from Food & Wine involves marinating cubed chicken pieces in a Caesar-inspired marinade. Grill up the skewers and serve in lettuce cups. It’s a fun and unusual spin on a classic!
Lemon Pepper Salmon Kebabs
These zesty salmon kebabs from Southern Living are a great addition to your weeknight dinner rotation. Be sure to cut the salmon into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
Mediterranean Turkey Meatball Skewers
Did you know that you can grill meatballs?! This winning recipe from Diethood skewers Mediterranean-inspired meatballs and fresh bell pepper and serves them with grilled naan and a homemade garlic yogurt sauce. These aren’t your average meatballs—they’re rolled with feta and finely chopped pimiento-stuffed olives, making them super moist and tender.
