The tricky part of skewering seafood for the grill is that the seafood and vegetables tend to spin around on the skewer. This can make it hard to turn the food and ensure even cooking. Here are a few suggestions:
- Dense, meaty seafood-such as shrimp or tuna-holds up better on a single skewer than more tender kinds-like halibut or scallops.
- Rather than threading the items in the center on one skewer, use two skewers side-by-side to hold the food neatly in place.
- Metal skewers often have a flattened shape that holds the food a little more securely, but as it cooks it may still loosen and spin.
- Some less expensive aluminum skewers have a "V" shape to them, which works well to keep the food from turning on the skewer.
