A great way to enjoy a summer BBQ is to grill kabobs. The marinated meat and colorful vegetables in this recipe make kabobs that are juicy and full of flavor. These kabobs are great for any summer party, whether you like chicken, beef, or shrimp.

Ingredients: 1 pound of chicken, beef, or shrimp. 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks. 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks. 1 red onion, cut into chunks. 1 zucchini, sliced. 1 cup cherry tomatoes. 1/4 cup olive oil. 2 tablespoons soy sauce. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon paprika. 1 teaspoon cumin. Salt and pepper to taste. Wooden skewers, soaked in water.

Instructions: To make the marinade, mix the olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl with a whisk. It's best to use a plastic bag that can be closed again and again. Cut the chicken, beef, or shrimp into small pieces. Cover the meat with the marinade and zip up the bag. Put the meat in the fridge for at least 30 minutes after massaging the marinade into it. Cut the vegetables into chunks or slices while the meat is marinating. Warm up the grill over medium-high heat. Switch between the soaked wooden skewers and the meat that has been marinated and the vegetables that have been prepared. Turn the kabobs over every so often on the grill for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred. Add cherry tomatoes and your choice of sauce or condiments to the hot kabobs that you just grilled. Have fun with your family and friends while you eat your tasty kabobs.
