Can you use cooked shrimp for kabobs?
Yes, you can grill cooked shrimp. Grilling precooked shrimp can create that unique savory flavor that no other way of cooking can do. However, do not cook it for too long otherwise, your shrimp will get that hard and dry texture, which is a significant letdown. Also, before grilling, clean the grill before cooking.

What to Serve with Shrimp Kabobs
- A simple green salad like this Arugula Salad or this Spinach Strawberry Salad.
- Extra skewers of grilled veggies.
- A grain like rice. I recommend brown rice, as it is whole grain and more filling. Cauliflower rice is an excellent option if you’d like to keep the meal more low carb.
