They aren't cooked, they are marinated.

do you cook the chicken before you put them on the skewer?
nope. They get grilled...

Interesting. I never lay my skewers directly on the grates. I have a rack that the ends of the skewers sit on that holds them just above it. Probably doesn't really make a difference though.

Actually, it does but it depends on the type of grill. Typically with most grills when you lay them directly on the grate you need to spray the grate to prevent sticking. They make flavorless cooking spray, but if you are using a propane grill the taste tends to be pretty different anytime you cook them in the grate with some type of anti sticking product. When cooked on propane from the risers like what you have the favor tends to be completely natural and usually, better. It also allows the excess marinade to run off easier during cooking then directly on the grates, and cooks them more evenly.
When using charcoal or wood like I do there is not a whole lot of difference because the anti stick products are not detectable because of the smoke.

But isn't the cook time between chicken and vegetables so different that the veggies cook too long
Nope. You cut the meat small for skewers so it cooks faster than normal. It tends to go the other way honestly, if they are on too long the veggies get too soft.

I seared the entire skewer first on the bottom grate - about a minute and a half per side, lowered the heat and placed it on the top grate to finish cooking. I think it took about 15-20 minutes.
Also, this time the shrimp came out perfect...I took them off as soon as they turned pink.
