Unlike many Middle Eastern recipes, this Shish Kabob Recipe is very easy to prepare. Luckily, there are no major kitchen gadgets required to pull this recipe off either. Although metal skewers would be handy for this recipe, you can easily use soaked wooden skewers instead. But for a very small price, you can have reusable skewers that will last forever. So if you plan on making kabobs on a pretty regular basis, investing in some metal skewers wouldn't be a bad idea. Whatever you do, don't let your husband take them to work for a barbecue. You'll never get them all back; Trust me, I'm talking from experience here!
