The above photo is of our Spicy Peanut Chicken Kebabs ready to be served at a Tasting Party. This fun presentation will work for our other kebab recipes: the Beer Barbecued Steak Kebabs , and Spicy Peanut Chicken Kebabs . Shish kebabs are a culinary favourite around the world. Oriental cultures enjoy satays, the Japanese make yakitori, and the French grill brochettes! It is written that Christopher Columbus was fond of Portuguese espetadas, a beef shish kebab marinated in wine and roasted on an open fire…but the fact is that the term shish kebab is Turkish and it means "skewer" and "roast meat". This dish can be made with endless combinations of meats, seafood, fruits and vegetables. It is perfect for a crowd because everything can be prepared in advance and grilled just before it’s time to eat. Here are some general tips on choosing and preparing meat, fish or seafood for shish kebabs: • wash all meats and seafood and pat dry before skewering • if you have time marinade the meat • soak the skewers in water for one hour before cooking, to prevent burning • meats should be cut in 1 to 2 inch cubes for quick and even cooking • fatty meats can be cooked at a higher temperature and lean meats will need a longer time at lower heat • choose firm meat, fish or seafood, such as: salmon, tuna, mahi mahi and shell fish Makes approximately 16-20 Tasting Style kebabs |

| 1. Whisk the first 6 ingredients together. Toss in the shrimp and scallops, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. 2. One hour before cooking time, remove the seafood from the fridge. Drain and discard the marinade. 3. Place the Rub for Barbecue on large plate or sheet of wax paper. Dredge the seafood and oranges through the spice blend. Using skewers, thread the shrimp, scallops, vegetables and fruit in an alternate arrangement. Brush the Cajun Spice Sauce on the kebabs, including the seafood, fruit and vegetables. 4. Preheat the barbecue or grill to high heat. Place the kebabs on the preheated grill or under a hot broiler, for approximately 5-8 minutes, basting with the Cajun Spice Sauce and turning often. 5. Remove the kebabs from the grill and serve immediately. Tasting Party Serving Suggestion: To create a sturdy base, place a piece of foam or water soaked floral oasis in a serving dish. Attractively insert the flat ends of the skewers into the base and allow guests to serve themselves. |
