Shrimp/Sirloin Kabobs

• Looking for something else to put on the grill this summer?  Try these kabobs!

After learning that my parents were paying exorbitant prices at a grocery store for prepared kabobs, I decided to embark on making them myself.  After making these kabobs with her, she said that she would never buy them again from the store!  I combined the flavors of this spicy shrimp marinade and seasoned savory beef marinade with vegetables over the grill to create a summer favorite.   

The beef is best when marinaded for eight hours or overnight, but if you are in a rush, it is still delicious without all of the sitting time.  Also, I found sirloin "grillers" in the grocery store that were basically tenderized fatless sirloin steak pieces.
