shrimp kabobs

before the bbq

there really is no recipe for these. i just stuck together what i had handy then basted them on the bbq with sweet thai chili sauce that i bought at costco in the city - but you could use any sauce that has a little sweet and spicy flavour. because we were having company i bought cherry tomatoes. normally i would never dream of this purchase, as a small container are usually around $4 (in these parts, anyway). i skewered:

• pineapple
• mushrooms
• cherry tomatoes
• red pepper
• red onion
• raw, peeled shrimp

pre-soak skewers (if using wooden ones) in water for about 20 minutes before assembly so they don't burn on the bbq. they only needed to be bbq'd for about ten minutes, maybe a little more. bast towards the end. i served these in lieu of a salad.
