Cook's Tips:
Canned unsweetened coconut milk can be found in the
Asian foods section of the supermarket.
Canned cream of coconut may be substituted: Omit brown sugar;
for sauce, substitute 1/2 cup cream of coconut and increase
peanut butter to 1/3 cup.
To broil, place kabobs on rack in broiler pan so surface
of meat is 4 inches from heat.
Broil 3 to 5 minutes or until cooked through, turning once.
