Delicately seasoned with fragrant herbs and lemon, these flavourful chicken skewers are easy party staples. Look for cocktail skewers at kitchen supply stores. Make the chicken skewers up to two weeks ahead and cook from frozen.
Succulent seafood and garden-fresh vegetables make an easy summer grill.
Grill up kabobs as a side dish for a vegetarian meal (such as chickpea burgers) or to serve with grilled meat or fish. Use either basil pesto or sun-dried tomato pesto. No pesto? Add 1/4 cup (50 mL) minced fresh basil (or 1 tsp/5 mL dried) to the butter.
Firm-fleshed fillets, such as cod, basa or tilapia, are perfect for this grilled seafood dish. Cutting the fish about the same size as the shrimp ensures it cooks in the same amount of time. Serve with a side of mixed baby greens.
