The chicken marinates in a sweet ginger sauce before grilling. We used tenderloins for this recipe for faster prep time. We grilled the chicken and shrimp on their own skewers so that each would cook more evenly. Pair this dish with snow peas or a vegetable stir-fry. You can also serve these chicken and shrimp satay skewers as part of your next dinner party.
