Seafood and Chicken Skewers with Sauce

Step 1

Cut the 1 lb chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and peel the 0.5 lb shrimp. Slice the 1 medium onion into wedges. Thread chicken, shrimp, and onion onto skewers, alternating as you go.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, 1 tsp salt, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Brush this mixture over the skewers, coating all sides.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until the chicken is cooked through and the shrimp are pink and opaque.

Step 4

While the skewers cook, make the sauce: in a blender or food processor, combine 0.5 cup fresh herbs, remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed.

Step 5

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes. Serve hot with the herb sauce drizzled over or on the side.

Step 6

Optional: serve on banana leaves for a festive presentation, if you have them.
