Steps:
- For marinade:
- Whisk all ingredients in medium bowl to blend.
- For kebabs:
- Place fish and lamb in separate medium glass or stainless steel bowls. Add 2/3 cup marinade to each; toss to coat. Chill at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Reserve remaining marinade for basting and making sauce.
- Drain fish. Alternate 2 fish cubes, 2 tomato halves, 2 peach wedges, and 2 onion bottoms on each of 8 skewers.
- Drain lamb. Alternate 2 lamb cubes, 2 bell pepper squares, 2 eggplant cubes, and 2 zucchini rounds on each of 8 skewers. (Kebabs can be assembled 2 hours ahead. Arrange on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Cover; chill.)
- Spray grill rack with nonstick spray, then prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Transfer 1 cup reserved marinade to small saucepan for sauce. Grill kebabs until slightly charred and cooked as desired, turning occasionally and basting with remaining marinade, about 8 minutes for fish and 10 minutes for lamb. Transfer kebabs to platter.
- Bring marinade in saucepan to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Whisk in butter, 1 slice at a time, allowing each to melt before adding next (do not boil). Season butter sauce to taste with pepper. Serve sauce with kebabs.
SURF & TURF KABOBS
This is another recipe from Jacqueline Bellefontaine's What's Cooking Barbecue with a few alterations from me. I love it because the marinade time is short. You really don't need any more time than stated. It is thick and sticks to the meats beautifully. You will think that there is not enough to marinade the amount of meat, but I thought it was perfect. (Not enough to have extra for rice) The flavors went so well together. Prep time does not include the marinate. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Look for fresh, flavorful seafood and meat, and select vegetables that are crisp and brightly colored.
- Make sure your skewers are long enough to accommodate all of the ingredients without overcrowding. If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
- Don't overcook the seafood or meat. Cook them just until they are cooked through, to prevent them from becoming tough.
- Serve the kebabs immediately, with your favorite dipping sauce.
