GUIDE / INSTRUCTIONS

For the Kebabs:

  • Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 40 minutes (this prevents burning while cooking).
  • Push the following ingredients onto the soaked skewers in this order (one piece at a time) red bell pepper, mahi mahi, red onion, lobster, green bell pepper, tiger shrimp, red bell pepper. Repeat.
  • Brush the kebab with olive oil, then place on a hot bar grill. For the best flavor, cook on a barbecue chargrill.
  • While cooking all sides of the kebab, sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper and spray sparingly with lemon juice.
  • When the lobster and shrimp are firm to the touch and have a pink color all around, the kebabs will be ready. To double-check, gently pull the skewer toward yourself. If the skewer gives way, the kebab is cooked.

For the Black Bean Rice:

  • Mix all the ingredients together, season with salt and ground black pepper.
  • Cover with buttered greaseproof paper.
  • Place in oven at 320° for 40 minutes until all the water is absorbed

For the Pico De Gallo:

  • Gently mix all the ingredients together, including the grated lime zest and juice.

For the Garnish:

  • Slice the tortilla into 6 wedges and deep fry both sides in vegetable oil until crispy; drain on a paper towel and cool to room temperature.

Assembly:

  • Lay the black bean rice onto the center of the plate and “pat” down. Place the kebab onto the black bean rice and remove the skewer (the skewer can also be left in if preferred). Garnish each grilled seafood item with ¼ teaspoon of pico de gallo. Garnish the kebab with the fried tortilla as per picture, and enjoy
