- Turn your veggie skewers frequently until they have lots of beautiful grill marks. Take them off the grill and slide each skewer full of fruit and veggies into a beautiful large bowl.
- Put the shrimp on the grill and turn each minute until they are pink and ready to eat. Slide them off their skewers and into the large bowl with the veggies. Give them a toss and push them to one side. Pile the cooked rice on the other side of the bowl. It makes for a beautiful family-style presentation.
