Introduction
A spectacular Mediterranean-inspired kebab feast showcasing five distinct skewers: spiced steak, flavorful marinated chicken thighs, zesty herb-infused shrimp, plain zucchini, and savory halloumi cheese. Each ingredient is prepped, skewered, and grilled individually to guarantee optimal doneness and maximum flavor.
Step 1
Prepare the steak by cutting sirloin into 1x1 inch cubes. Mix brown sugar, smoked hot paprika, freshly ground black pepper, cumin, coriander, and kosher salt in a small bowl to make a dry rub. Coat the steak cubes lightly with olive oil, then toss thoroughly with the dry rub.
Step 2
Thread the seasoned steak cubes onto metal skewers, leaving a 1/4-inch space between each piece to allow heat to circulate evenly during grilling.
Step 3
Prep the chicken by removing any excess skin. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, grated garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, turmeric, smoked paprika, cumin, cinnamon, black pepper, and kosher salt. Coat the chicken thighs in the marinade and let rest for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2-3 days for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Thread the marinated chicken thighs onto metal skewers by weaving them like a ribbon (from bottom to top) to increase the surface area.
Step 5
Prepare the shrimp marinade by mixing grated ginger, grated garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, coriander, smoked paprika, chopped cilantro (both stems and leaves), and kosher salt. Transfer half of this wet marinade to a separate bowl to use as a post-grill baste. Toss the tail-on shrimp in the remaining marinade.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Never mix different proteins and vegetables on the same skewer because every ingredient cooks at a different temperature and time.
Ensure there is a small gap (around 1/4 inch) between meat pieces on the skewers so that heat can flow between them for even browning.
Do not salt zucchini beforehand as it will draw out moisture, preventing you from achieving beautiful grill marks.
Avoid layering hot skewers directly on top of each other while resting to prevent them from steaming and overcooking.
