Shiskabobs?!
Shiskabobs?
What are some good shiskabob recipes for beef and shrimp? I have crohn's disease so vegetables have to have a minimum fiber content. Anyone got any good ideas on marinades for both beef and shrimp shiskabobs?
Answers:
STEAK AND SHRIMP KABOBS BARBECUE STYLE
2 lb. beef cubes
1 lb. med. size shrimp, uncooked
8 - 10 slices thin bacon
Shell and clean shrimp. Cut bacon into small strips and wrap around shrimp. Place on skewers with beef cubes. Coat with barbecue sauce and grill approximately 30 minutes. Serving suggestion: The Vigo yellow rice goes excellent with these shish kabobs.
TERIYAKI MARINADE - SHISH KABOBS
2 lbs. cubed sirloin
Makes 10 or more skewers with vegetables.
Marinate overnight in:
2 c. olive oil
2 tbsp. soy sauce
5 or more tbsp. teriyaki sauce
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. pepper
Stir all together. Place meat in and coat. Turn periodically. Can marinate raw chicken strips in another dish of same marinade.
For shrimp: Clean and devein. Marinate in olive oil (enough to coat) with juice of real lemon (2 tablespoons) for a couple hours.
On skewers: Alternate shrimp, chicken and-or beef with cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, cubed zucchini pieces, green, red or yellow peppers. Cut in squares and small onions. We've had better luck separating the meat. (Make chicken and vegetable, shrimp and vegetable, beef and vegetables skewers). Cook beef and chicken kabobs a little longer than the shrimp. Good with rice, too!
look on foodtv.com, it should help you out a little. =) good luck!
Marinades I don't know but if you wrap each shrimp in a half a slice of bacon then grill it....oh my ...it's oh so goood.
Stop it you are making me hungry!
The best marinade for ALL meat is simply Italian salad dressing--fat free is great. (my opinion, of course)
I don't really know much about fiber in veggies, but my favorite ones to use are mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, onions and fresh peppers (all different colors), zucchini slices, sliced summer squash, and even steamed pea pods.
Surely SOMETHING on that list must be low fiber!
Shish Kabobs are one of my absolute favorite meals!!
(You can also use pork, chicken, or turkey cubes---they are all great!)
I hate to burst any ones entertaining bubble - but shish kabob's are just too much damn work - I got one of those flat grilling pans with all the holes in it and just toss the shrimp and cut up veggies on it and stir about - it is so much easier and less work to eat too - and the steak - throw it on the grill whole
for veggies I like a mix of red, yellow and green peppers, red onion, mushrooms, and zucchini - toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and garlic
same seasoning for the shrimp with maybe a bit of lemon or lime zest and the juice too
and the steak if its a good cut just needs salt and pepper - if you want some kick add a bit of garlic powder and cayenne
You can put anything you like on them or anything that is compatible to your diet.
When I cook shrimp, I like to just use olive oil, garlic powder (or fresh) & parsley. I made some kabobs a couple weeks ago. I marinated the beef in a olive oil, red wine vinegar & oregano mixture. It was good. Better than I thought it would be. I put some chicken on mine too. I marinated them in a onion powder, salt & pepper, olive oil and apricot preserves mixture. I just like the taste of the apricots with chicken.
I don't know what veggies are low in fiber. I used tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers (red, orange or yellow. not green) and onions on mine. (with the shrimp, beef and chicken in random order) You could probably use zuccini & squash too, anything that you can cut in chunks that will stay on the sticks.
Your kabobs need not have veggies on them at all, most people in my family like their meat cooked well done and kabobs with veggies cooked to welldone just burns the vegetables anyway. So what I do is marinade the meat in tomato juice (V8 juice works well too), whole garlic cloves with slits cut into it to release the oils, diced onion, paprika, rosemary and olive oil.
You can grill up a seperate Veggies only skewar of bell peppers and onions drizzled lightly with oil.
