INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare the Skewers

   Put the chopped bell peppers, corn, shrimp, zucchini, and onion in a large bowl. Then, add all of the seasonings and olive oil to the bowl. Mix thoroughly with your hands until everything is evenly coated with seasoning.

2. Construct the Skewers

   Grab several skewers and push the vegetables and shrimp onto each skewer (the order does not matter as long as you evenly distribute all ingredients among the skewers). Make sure to put 2 shrimp on each skewer.

3. Grill the Skewers

   Heat the grill to medium-high, then grill each skewer until the shrimp is pink and slightly charred (about 15-20 minutes).

4. Make the Sauce

   While the skewers cook, mix all of the sauce ingredients in one small bowl to make the peanut sauce.

5. Serve with Peanut Sauce on Top of the Skewers and Enjoy!
