Grilled Catfish And Yam Kabobs Food

GRILLED FISH KEBOBS WITH PARSLEY AND GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Kebobs: Put the salmon, halibut and tuna in a resealable plastic bag. In a medium bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour the oil mixture over the fish and seal the bag. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Thread each skewer with 2 pieces of salmon, 2 pieces of halibut and 2 pieces of tuna, alternating the fish on the skewers.
• Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the butter to the center of a 6-inch-square piece of plastic wrap. Fold the plastic over the butter and form it into a log, about 4-inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Refrigerate until firm, about for 1 hour. Slice the butter into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices and transfer them to a plate.
• Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Season the fish with salt and pepper, to taste, and grill the skewers until opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve the butter alongside.

FRIED CATFISH AND GREEN TOMATO KABOBS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a tall, narrow stockpot to 350 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the chili sauce, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Add the catfish cubes, tomatoes and onions and toss to coat.
• In a shallow, wide dish, combine the cornmeal and Cajun seasoning.
• To assemble the kabobs: First skewer through one end of a bacon slice and then a cube of catfish. Wrap the bacon around and then skewer a wedge of tomato. Wrap the bacon around again, skewer a wedge of onion and then wrap the bacon and skewer one last time. Repeat with the remaining skewers and ingredients.
• Roll the kabobs in the cornmeal mixture, drop in the oil in batches and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining skewers.
• Serve on the stick!

CHILI-GRILLED CATFISH SKEWERS

Steps:

• Thread catfish nuggets on 6-8 bamboo skewers.
• Mix sauce ingredients thoroughly.
• Brush sauce onto both sides of the catfish skewers and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Heat grill medium high.
• Brush one side of catfish skewers with sauce again.
• Load into grilling basket and place on grill sauce side down.
• Grill 3-5 minutes until half done.
• Brush with remaining sauce.
• Flip and grill another 3-5 minutes until done.
• Note: The grilling basket may or may not be necessary. I am very nervous about cooking fish on the grill without it and risking losing our dinner into the flames.

GRILLED SEAFOOD KABOBS

Steps:

• Mix lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, Italian seasoning, hot sauce, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add swordfish, shrimp, and scallops and toss.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for low heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Drain skewers and thread swordfish, shrimp, scallops, bell pepper, onion, squash, mushroom, and pepperoncini in an alternating fashion onto the skewers. Place a lemon piece on the end of each skewer. Brush skewers with any remaining oil mixture.
• Cook skewers on the grill, turning every 5 minutes, until seafood is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes total.

GRILLED FISH KABOBS WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Cut swordfish and salmon into 24 cubes (about 1 1/2 inches each); thread against the grain on 8 skewers, alternating with tomatoes.
• In a blender, puree basil, oil, and garlic until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve half.
• Brush kabobs with half of basil oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill until fish is opaque, 6 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally. With a clean brush, coat kabobs with reserved basil oil. Serve immediately.
