Appetizer Tropical Surf Turf Kebobs Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Pat scallops and pineapple dry with paper towels. Cut each scallop in half.
• Wrap each scallop and pineapple chunk with bacon piece; secure with wooden toothpicks. Place on rack of broiler pan.
• Bake 25 min. or until scallops are opaque and bacon is done.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until melted and foamy. Add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and peaches and cook, stirring, until the sugar is melted and the peaches are starting to soften, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the peach preserves, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, red pepper flakes, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the peaches are completely softened and the mixture is thickened to the consistency of loose jam, 10 to 15 minutes depending on the juiciness of the peaches. Discard the thyme sprigs. If the peaches have not completely broken down, mash them with a potato masher to help them along. Keep warm over low heat.
• Meanwhile, heat a large grill pan over high heat.
• Thread one piece of corn onto a 15-inch metal skewer, followed by a piece of sirloin and then a piece of shrimp; repeat in that order until you have 4 of each item on the skewer. Repeat with the remaining corn, sirloin and shrimp on 3 additional 15-inch metal skewers. Brush the kebabs with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and black pepper.
• Cook the kebabs, turning a few times, until charred all over and the steak and shrimp are cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the kebabs to a platter and brush generously with the peach sauce. Serve with rice, salad and extra peach sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Cut the steak and lobster tail meat into 1-inch chunks. Alternating between steak and lobster, skewer the meat onto four 12-inch skewers (about 4 pieces of steak and 3 pieces of lobster on each skewer); set aside.
• To make the spice rub, mix together the salt, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, black pepper and thyme in a small bowl.
• Drizzle or brush the skewers with the olive oil. Lightly sprinkle the skewers with the spice rub.
• Grill the skewers, brushing them with the melted butter and turning about every minute, until the lobster is cooked through and the steak is rare, 4 to 5 minutes total. Allow to rest for 5 to 7 minutes before enjoying.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• For the seasoning: Combine the garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, salt and cayenne.
• For the surf and turf: Rub 1 tablespoon of the butter over the tenderloin then sprinkle lightly with the Cajun seasoning. Place in the oven for approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
• After about 25 minutes check the tenderloin; you want a temperature of 120 to 125 degrees F on a meat thermometer for medium rare to rare. Remove the tenderloin from the oven and rest it for 10 to 15 minutes.
• In another skillet, add 3 tablespoons of the butter and heat to melt. Throw in the onions, green peppers and red peppers, then cook until golden brown and colored, but still somewhat crisp, a couple of minutes. Add the garlic and cook around for 30 to 45 seconds. Remove the veggies to a plate.
• Heat the same skillet over high heat, and then pour in the wine and chicken broth. Cook on high for 3 to 5 minutes, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Reduce the heat to medium-low heat and pour in the cream, stirring or whisking constantly. Cook the sauce until the cream starts to thicken the mixture, a few minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Add the cooked vegetables to the sauce, making sure to include all the juices that have drained onto the plate. Stir and cook until the mixture is bubbly and hot, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Next add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to a skillet and melt the butter over high heat. Throw the shrimp into the skillet and sprinkle them lightly with some of the remaining Cajun seasoning. Cook the shrimp until opaque and deep golden brown with some dark brown parts. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Serve the veggies and shrimp in their skillets and the tenderloin on a platter.

Steps:

• 1. Combine first 5 ingredients to make the marinade. Add the steak and shrimp and allow to rest 3-4 hours - stirring occasionally.
• 2. Drain and reserve marinade. Prepare kebobs by threading one wedge pineapple, then one shrimp, one green onion slice, one steak cube followed by one green pepper slice. Repeat for remaining kebobs.
• 3. Mix cornstarch with reserved marinade in a saucepan and boil until clear. Place skewers on the rack of the broiler pan and brush with marinade.
• 4. Place broiler pan 5 inches from heat and broil for 3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink. Turn over and brush the other side with marinade; broil 5 minutes longer. Serve immediately. (If serving for dinner, double the ingredients onto large skewers).

Steps:

• Cut the steak into bit size pieces and place in a zip-lock bag or a
• nonmetallic dish. (Zip-lock is just too easy).
• Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails attached. (I bought the shrimp that were already deveined with tails on).
• To make the marinade, whisk the oyster sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice and safflower oil in a small bowl until well combined.
• Pour the mixture over the meat, turning to coat and marinate for 15 minutes.
• Add the shrimp to the marinade, toss to coat and marinate for 5 minutes.
• Remove the meat and shrimp from the marinade.
• Thread meat onto metal or presoaked wooden skewers, alternating the steak with the shrimp.
• Broil the kabobs over hot coals for 5-10 minutes turning frequently.
• Transfer to a warm serving plate and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a gallon bag, combine your steak pieces, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced onion, and minced garlic.
• Zip up bag and shake it, allowing all the flavors to combine. Let steak marinade for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight.
• In a separate resealable bag, add shrimp, melted butter and garlic salt. Zip up the bag, and shake it to allow all the flavors to combine. Let marinade for 2-3 hours, or just as long as you marinade the meat.
• Soak your skewers (if wooden) in water for 20 minutes.
• Thread your steak and shrimp onto skewers.
• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Grill your kabobs for 6 minutes, rotate them, then cook for another 6 minutes, or until desired doneness.

Steps:

• Cut beef into 24 (3/4-inch) pieces. In medium bowl, mix beef, shrimp and teriyaki sauce. Sprinkle with pepper. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Meanwhile, soak skewers in water at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.
• Spray grill rack with cooking spray. Heat gas or charcoal grill. On each skewer, thread 1 beef piece, 1 shrimp and another beef piece, leaving space between each piece; reserve marinade.
• Place kabobs on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium heat 5 to 6 minutes, turning once and brushing with marinade once or twice, until shrimp are pink. Discard any remaining marinade.
