This recipe was awesome and pleased my whole family! Usually, the mediocre taste of any kabob recipe does not warrant all the work, but the awesome flavor makes it well worth it! The dipping sauce and marinate are easy to make! The only snag I ran into was that some of the asparagus pieces split in half when I tried to skewer them, but it still turned out yummy! Will definitely put this recipe into my dinner rotation!
