MARINATED SEAFOOD SKEWERS WITH A DIPPING SAUCE
Another experiment and I think another success, to me this was a wonderful combination of flavours and the fish was gorgeous. I used Tuna, Salmon and Prawns but feel free to experiment with other fish, just remember you need quite thick fish for skewers. I served mine over stir-fry vegetables which not only went really well but made for a very yummy, healthy, light dinner enjoyed by us all. The ingredients listed below was enough to make 6 skewers I allowed for 2 per person so if you have bigger eaters you will have to adjust amounts to make more. The marinade will be plenty even if you buy more seafood.

GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS WITH ORANGE GLAZE
The secret ingredient in these quick and tangy grilled shrimp skewers is orange-juice concentrate, which brings a sweet-tart intensity to the basting mixture that is balanced out by savory onion, sharp pickled jalapeños, and earthy thyme.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, and thyme; season with salt. Cook until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add orange concentrate and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then cook until syrupy and reduced to a scant 1 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Add vinegar and jalapeños; cook 1 minute. Let cool 10 minutes. Set aside 1/4 cup glaze for serving.
- If using wooden skewers, first soak in water 30 minutes, then drain (to prevent burning). Lay 6 shrimp side by side; slide a skewer through head ends to secure together. Thread a second skewer through tail ends. Spread shrimp slightly so there are small gaps between them. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
- Preheat grill to high; brush grates with oil. Grill bread, flipping once, just until lightly charred and crisp in places, 1 to 2 minutes total. Transfer to a platter or board; brush with oil.
- Brush shrimp with half of remaining glaze and grill, turning once, until opaque and almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Brush with more glaze, turning a few times to caramelize, until just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Remove from grill and brush with some of reserved glaze. Serve over grilled bread, with remaining reserved glaze on the side.
Tips:
- Select Fresh Shellfish: Choose plump and firm shrimp, scallops, and mussels with tightly closed shells.
- Skewer Properly: Alternate seafood and vegetables on the skewers for a visually appealing presentation.
- Marinate the Seafood: Marinate the seafood in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for extra flavor.
- Glaze Generously: Brush the seafood skewers with the Equatorial glaze during and after grilling for a sticky, caramelized coating.
- Control the Cooking Time: Seafood cooks quickly, so be attentive to prevent overcooking.
- Serve with Dipping Sauce: Offer a variety of dipping sauces, such as a creamy lemon sauce or a spicy chili sauce, to complement the grilled skewers.
