Season the shrimp with smoked paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Prepare the vegetable skewers with onions and peppers.

For the dessert kabobs, toss peaches, pineapples, and strawberries in cinnamon.

Place the dinner kabobs (shrimp and vegetables) on the grill at a controlled temperature.

Simultaneously, grill the dessert kabobs (fruits) at a lower temperature to prevent burning the sugars.
