Cooking Steps
Preheat a well-oiled grill to medium-high heat. (TIP: If using a grill pan, you’ll heat it in Step 6.) Soak skewers in a shallow bowl. Wash and dry produce. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice into 1-inch-thick half-moons. Peel and mince or grate garlic; reserve a pinch in a small bowl. Zest and quarter lemon. Place zucchini and tomatoes in a large bowl; set aside.
Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels; place in a medium bowl. Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch cubes; place in a second medium bowl. To bowl with shrimp, add remaining garlic, lemon zest, juice from one lemon wedge, and a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Let marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 5 minutes. To bowl with chicken, add Cajun Spice Blend, juice from one lemon wedge, a drizzle of oil, and a pinch of salt; toss to coat. Let marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 5 minutes.
To bowl with zucchini and tomatoes, add a large drizzle of oil, Turkish Spice Blend, and juice from one lemon wedge. Season generously with salt and toss until evenly coated. To bowl with reserved garlic, add mayonnaise, 1 tsp water, and a pinch of salt and pepper; whisk to combine.
Thread seasoned veggies onto skewers, alternating zucchini and tomato (we used 4-5 skewers). Thread marinated shrimp onto skewers (we used 5-6). Thread marinated chicken onto skewers (we used 3-4).
Add kebabs to grill. (TIP: For a grill pan, oil and heat over medium-high heat. Work in batches.) Grill shrimp kebabs until browned and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Cook chicken kebabs until lightly charred and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. Cook veggie kebabs until browned and tender, 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a large serving platter.
Squeeze juice from remaining lemon wedge over shrimp kebabs. Serve with aioli sauce on the side for dipping.
Shrimp are fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°. Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Fun way to eat meat and veggies for a change-up! Loved the garlic aioli! Was going to do in the oven, but husband fired up the grill and it was fantastic!
This was so delicious. Especially enjoyed the shrimp and veggies. Everything tasted very fresh! Can't wait for this recipe to come up again.
This takes a little extra time to assemble, and you have to be careful not to overcook the shrimp kebabs, but they are worth the effort.
This was delicious. I oven baked it instead, 450 for 30 minutes on veggies, 20 minutes on chicken and 15 on shrimp.
Had these twice. Pan roasted the veggies and cooked the meat and shrimp in a cast iron pan. So good!
Had to add my own seasonings to the shrimp and chicken - just wasn't enough in the instructions and they needed more flavor! Added paprika to the chicken and italian seasoning to the shrimp, made it all much more enjoyable.
Time consuming but worth it. Delicious. We used only half of the chicken seasoning and it was perfect, any more would be way too much.
These were delicious and easy to get ready to grill. We used a grill basket which made prep easier than making them into kabobs.
Amazing flavors, wow!! The entire family couldn't say enough about how fabulous this dish was. :) Prep time was quite a long time, but food was delish.
Took forever to make and I grumbled about it but it redeemed itself in taste. It was really tasty!
