Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds swordfish, bloodline and skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 yellow bell peppers, cut into 1-inch squares
2 Tbsp La Boîte Shabazi N.38 spice blend
- fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 lemon, halved
Directions
- Alternating swordfish and vegetables, skewer the ingredients, leaving 2 inches open on each end. Repeat this process until all of the ingredients are skewered.
- Line a sheet pan with foil. Lay the skewers on top and sprinkle with the spice blend, salt, and the olive oil. Let sit for at least 15 minutes and up to 4 hours in the fridge.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Apply a bit of oil to the grill grates to prevent any chance of sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Using tongs, turn the kebabs to the other side and continue to cook until the swordfish is no longer opaque in the center, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
- Arrange the kebabs on a serving tray and set aside to rest for a couple of minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the two lemon halves cut-side down on the grill to char for 3 minutes. Add the charred lemons to the tray with the kebabs.
