- Be sure to cut the pumpkin into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking on the skewers.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- For a more intense flavor, marinate the shrimp in the lime juice, brown sugar, fish sauce, and chili mixture for 15-20 minutes before assembling the skewers.
- Keep an eye on the shrimp while grilling to avoid overcooking; they should be pink and opaque when done.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or cherry tomatoes to the skewers for added color and flavor.
- Garnish the skewers with freshly chopped basil leaves right before serving for a burst of freshness.
