Salmon and Scallop Cajun Kabobs

Coat only the salmon chunks in the marinade for this recipe. Make certain to soak the wooden skewers for a minimum of 30 minutes before threading and grilling. If desired thread small cherry tomatoes that have been brushed with oil and seasoned with salt in between the salmon and scallops. Because the wooden skewers need to soak before grilling, I would not advise to thread the skewers in advance, but if you wanted to do so I would use metal skewers. Servings are only estimated.
