Obviously, filet or strip are going to be the most tender steaks to use. As long as you marinate the steak right and don't overcook, almost any steak will do. As far as shrimp go, they are great onj the grill, but can be overcooked very easily. Overcooked shrimp is dry and tastes bad. Don't put shrimp on kabobs w/ veggies like you would w/ steak or chicken. The shrimp will cook much faster than veggies, and will be dry and overcooked. Put the shrimp on a kabob of it's own, and cook for a short time. Pineapple is great on kabobs as well.

You can use sirlon, just don't use stew beef, cause it is too tough. Get a sirlon steak and cut it up yourself. Marinate it balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic....You can do shrimp too. but just with some lemon juice on it maybe some cayenne powder or other spice mix. If you have wooden skewers you should thread two for easier turning (one on one side one on the other) You can marinate your veggies with the same mix if you want (separately tho)

I think filet is the best choice for shish kabobs.

If you can afford it, filet mignon (wrapped in bacon). Otherwise look for a nice marbled cut of beef.
I don't like shrimp, but I have 'kabobbed" chicken, pork, veggies and meatballs.

the most tender part of the beef as you will not stew them. tenderloin (or any cut you'd make for steaks) will be nice
kabobs or kebobs are usually cubed meat (or almost anything ü) cooked in a skewer with vegetables.
