Easy Sweet and Spicy Shrimp Kabobs

As summer screams by, like a train out control, all we can do is sit and helplessly watch it happen. We know we would love to hang on to it for as long as possible. If only time could stand still. But this doesn't mean we cannot still enjoy one of summer's most delightful pleasures: Grilling! This is the reason why I came up with my easy sweet and spicy shrimp kabobs.

Grilling Season Options

Half the fun of summer is finding new things to toss on the grill, and shrimp kabobs are always a winner. They're versatile, fun, and you can get creative with the ingredients. But when it comes to kabobs, the sauce is what really makes them shine. For these easy sweet and spicy shrimp kabobs, I'm using P.F. Chang's Kung Pao Sauce. I went with Kung Pao, but their Teriyaki and Sesame sauces would also be delicious choices.

This sauce is so easy to use, and so full of flavor. It's spicy, bold taste makes anything on the grill taste better.

The chili flakes in this sauce are a perfect match for shrimp kabobs, adding just the right kick. What I love most, though, is the sweet-and-spicy balance-it's a flavor combo you need in your life!
