  • Peel onions and trim off both ends. Cut each onion into six wedges, approximately 1/2 inch wide. Separate the wedges into double layers.
  • To prepare kabobs, alternate chicken, onions, mango, green pepper, and shrimp onto soaked skewers, keeping them near the pointed end of each skewer, leaving a long “handle” of skewer open.
