Seafood Kabobs with Chimichurri Sauce

Seafood kabobs are a delicious and popular dish that likely originated from the Middle East or Mediterranean region, where grilling and skewering meat and vegetables has been a traditional cooking method for centuries.

Seafood kabobs typically consist of various types of seafood such as shrimp, fish, scallops, or squid, marinated in herbs, spices, and sometimes a citrus-based marinade before being skewered and grilled.

Seafood kabobs have become popular worldwide and are often served with rice, salad, or grilled vegetables. They are a versatile dish that can be customized with different spices, marinades, and types of seafood to suit various tastes and preferences.

Ingredients

For the seafood kabobs:

1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 pound of firm fish (such as swordfish or halibut), cut into chunks

1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks

1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks

1 red onion, cut into chunks

Wooden or metal skewers

For the chimichurri sauce:

1 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

3 cloves of garlic, minced

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1/2 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped

Sea salt and pepper to taste

Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Thread the shrimp, fish, bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients.

In a small bowl, combine the parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, oregano, sea salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine.

Brush the seafood kabobs with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Grill the kabobs for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the seafood is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Serve the seafood kabobs hot off the grill with a generous drizzle of chimichurri sauce on top. Enjoy!
