Chili Grilled Catfish Skewers Recipes

Steps:

• Thread catfish nuggets on 6-8 bamboo skewers.
• Mix sauce ingredients thoroughly.
• Brush sauce onto both sides of the catfish skewers and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Heat grill medium high.
• Brush one side of catfish skewers with sauce again.
• Load into grilling basket and place on grill sauce side down.
• Grill 3-5 minutes until half done.
• Brush with remaining sauce.
• Flip and grill another 3-5 minutes until done.
• Note: The grilling basket may or may not be necessary. I am very nervous about cooking fish on the grill without it and risking losing our dinner into the flames.

Steps:

• Soak 18 wooden skewers in water 20 minutes. Thread the watermelon, pineapple and mango cubes on the skewers. Put the skewers in a large zip-top plastic bag, being careful not to puncture the bag; add the lime juice, seal and toss gently to incorporate. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until ready to use.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Remove the skewers from the bag and place on a baking sheet. Brush the fruit with vegetable oil and place the skewers on the grill. Grill, turning once, until marks appear, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Combine the lime zest, chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning over the grilled fruit.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a tall, narrow stockpot to 350 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the chili sauce, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Add the catfish cubes, tomatoes and onions and toss to coat.
• In a shallow, wide dish, combine the cornmeal and Cajun seasoning.
• To assemble the kabobs: First skewer through one end of a bacon slice and then a cube of catfish. Wrap the bacon around and then skewer a wedge of tomato. Wrap the bacon around again, skewer a wedge of onion and then wrap the bacon and skewer one last time. Repeat with the remaining skewers and ingredients.
• Roll the kabobs in the cornmeal mixture, drop in the oil in batches and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining skewers.
• Serve on the stick!

Steps:

• Soak wooden skewers in water for 5-10 minutes and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the chicken with the marinade ingredients and mix.
• Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for at least an hour.
• If baking, preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Assemble skewers by adding red bell pepper first, followed by orange, yellow, and green bell peppers, red onion, and then marinated chicken. Repeat until skewer is full.
• Place skewers on a baking sheet and brush with remaining marinade.
• Bake or grill 20-30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink.
• Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine the first 7 ingredients; stir well.
• Rub spice mixture over catfish fillets.
• Coat gill rack with nonstick cooking spray.
• Grill fillets over medium heat for 5 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily.
• Serve with fresh salsa.

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic, fish sauce and red-pepper flakes. Whisk in oil. Add fish cubes and gently toss to evenly coat. Let marinate while the grill heats up.
• Thread marinated fish onto metal or pre-soaked bamboo skewers (see Tip), pushing them up so they touch. This keeps them from overcooking.
• When the grill is hot, lightly brush the grates with oil and add the skewers. Cook until slightly charred in places, about 2 to 4 minutes, rotating them carefully halfway through.
• Transfer to a serving platter, and immediately squeeze 2 or 3 lime wedges on top of the fish while still hot. Garnish fish with scallions and herbs, and serve with more lime wedges on the side.
