Grilled Shrimp, Pineapple, and Avocado Kabobs

Ready to shake up your grilling routine? These grilled shrimp kabobs are a delicious way to do so. Thread fresh shrimp, pineapple and avocado onto wooden skewers, and fire up the grill. They’ll be ready to eat in just 10 minutes. You’ll notice there’s a quick and simple marinade, but the real flavor comes from the citrus sesame vinaigrette that gets drizzled onto the hot kabobs after grilling.
