Looking for a good marinade for shish kabobs... any ideas?!
My mom and step-dad are coming to visit this weekend and I want to have a nice dinner for them!. We are making shish kabobs with steak and shrimp!. We definately need a good marinade for the steak, but if you know one that would also go well on the shrimp that would be great!.
also, what vegetables would you put on with them!? We have red and green peppers, pineapple, and onions!. We were considering either zucchinni or squash (or both)!. What vegetables would you recomend!?
What side dishes would you use with the kabobs!? I am going to do a fruit platter with mango, strawberries, pineapple, and watermellon!. We are also having hawian sweet rolls!. Do you think that is enough or would you add something else!?
Thanks in advance!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Balsomic vinigarette makes a great marinade for shrimp or if you did chicken!. Any vinigarette dressing is great as marinade!. For the steak, use a half a bottle of cocktail sauce (with horse raddish in it) and half a bottle of steak sauce (like A1)!. It has a great flavor, and a kick!.
I always put squash, mushrooms, onions, peppers, cherry tomatoes, pinapple, and zucchini!. They all carmelize realy well together!.
Kabobs are great with rice!. You could get some jasmine rice because it goes with anything, and it smells really nice!. It will go great with the meat and veggies!Www@FoodAQ@Com

For the marinade, use Allspice, a bit of Worcestershire sauce, and lemon zest (about a teaspoon), and also use the same lemon's juice to add to the marinade!. For the lemon zest: use a grater to get the yellow skin!. Do not grate the white flesh because it's bitter!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I always liked cherry tomatoes and button mushrooms on my kebabs, along with the peppers, onions and pineapple!.
