Steps:
- Place swordfish in a non-reactive container. Whisk together zest, olive oil, coriander, herbs and salt. Pour marinade over swordfish and let marinate in refrigerator for 8 hours. Cut peppers and onions into 1-inch squares. Skewer your ingredients rotating them 1 at time, first the swordfish, then a pepper square, followed by a chunk of onion, and a cherry tomato. Brush with marinade and grill for about 2 minutes on each side.
Tips:
- Choose fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better the kabobs will taste. Look for swordfish and shrimp that are firm and have a mild, briny smell.
- Marinate the seafood: Marinating the seafood in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to enhance the flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
- Use wooden or metal skewers: Wooden skewers need to be soaked in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning. Metal skewers do not need to be soaked, but they can be greased lightly with oil to help prevent the seafood from sticking.
- Skewer the seafood tightly: Make sure to skewer the seafood tightly so that it doesn't fall off during cooking. You can also alternate the seafood with vegetables, such as cherry tomatoes or zucchini, for a more colorful and flavorful kabob.
- Cook the kabobs over medium heat: Cooking the kabobs over medium heat will help to prevent the seafood from overcooking and becoming tough. Cook the kabobs for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the seafood is cooked through.
- Serve the kabobs immediately: Swordfish and shrimp kabobs are best served immediately after cooking. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Conclusion:
Swordfish and shrimp kabobs are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy seafood. They are easy to make and can be cooked on the grill, in the oven, or under the broiler. With a few simple tips, you can create flavorful and succulent kabobs that will impress your family and friends.
