Spiced Fish Kebabs

February 9, 2011 By Delia

These Skewers are so tasty, especially when served fresh from the grill – Barbecued they are particularly delicious. If you can’t get any Monkfish, any firm Fish will work well – Swordfish and Tuna are both excellent replacements. In place of the Tiger Prawns, Scallops are a good alternative.

Fish KEbab

If you’re using Wooden Skewers, soak them in water for thirty minutes before you thread the Seafood onto them.

To serve 4
700g Monkfish Fillets, skinned
12 Large Raw Tiger Prawns
2 Garlic Cloves, peeled and crushed
1tsp Ground Coriander
1tsp Ground Turmeric
1/2tsp Ground Cumin
1/2tsp Sea Salt
1/2tsp Chilli Powder
1/4tsp Ground Cinnamon
Juice of 1 Lime
1tbsp Tomato Puree
6tbsp Olive Oil

1. Wash and dry the Monkfish fillets, and cut into twelve equal sized large chunks. Peel the Prawns, discarding the heads and removing the black vein. Wash and dry the Prawns very well, before threading onto Skewers – remember, if you’re using Wooden Skewers, make sure they’re well soaked to prevent them burning.
2. To make the marinade, combine the Garlic, Coriander, Turmeric, Cumin, Sea Salt, Chilli Powder, Cinnamon, Lime Juice, Tomato Puree and Olive Oil in a bowl, and brush over the Kebabs. Transfer the Kebabs and Marinade to a shallow, non-metallic dish, and leave to marinade overnight in a refrigerator.
3. Remove the tray from the refrigerator at least an hour before cooking. Re-Baste the Kebabs with any marinade in the tray, and place on a grill tray, and cook for six to eight minutes, as close to the heat as possible, turning frequently, and re-brushing with the marinade.
