- Pork shoulder is a relatively lean cut without much marbling. On one hand, that makes it a good, wholesome choice for most people. On the other, to keep kebabs juicy and flavorful you'll want to pay special attention to how you marinate the meat. So, first rinse the pork shoulder well under cold running water and pat it dry with paper towels. Set the meat on a large cutting board and, with a sharp knife, cut the pork into kebab-sized pieces — not too big, not too small. They should have time to cook through evenly while staying juicy inside. Next, make the marinade. It couldn't be easier! The fastest, foolproof option is to mix soy sauce with a splash of balsamic vinegar. This marinade gives the meat a savory, spicy taste and a wonderful, appetizing aroma. Place the cut pork in a large pot or bowl and pour the marinade over it. Work the meat with your hands so the marinade presses into the pieces and soaks in well. Cover the pot or bowl and let the meat marinate at room temperature for a couple of hours. Once it has marinated long enough, you're ready to grill. Get the coals hot ahead of time, then thread the meat evenly onto clean skewers. Pork shoulder kebabs are best cooked over moderately hot coals so this tender meat doesn't dry out. Turn the skewers regularly so the kebabs cook evenly on all sides. As soon as they're browned all over with a golden crust, pull them off the skewers and taste. Grilled pork shoulder kebabs are usually served with roasted vegetables and fresh herbs. Enjoy!
