I was sitting at a taverna on the beach, and I ordered a plate of grilled meats. The skewers came out, and they were so delicious that I couldn't stop eating them. I asked the chef for the recipe, and he was kind enough to share it with me. I've been making these skewers ever since, and they're always a hit with my friends and family.
