Recipe Notes:
- Marinating Time: While the minimum marinating time is 1 hour, for even more flavor infusion, you can marinate the beef and shrimp for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

- Customization: Feel free to customize these kabobs with your favorite vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or cherry tomatoes for added color and texture.
- Storage: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
