Notes

Recipe Tips

  • Baste the skewers at least twice during cooking to build flavor and help the cheese stick.
  • Set aside some of the parmesan to finish the skewers right before serving.
  • Don’t cook over high heat — medium keeps the garlic and cheese from burning.
  • Serve right away with lime and parsley while everything’s hot and crispy.
