  • 1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic or 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon canola or corn oil

  • 12 raw peeled shrimp (about 6 ounces), rinsed and patted dry
  • 5 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, all visible fat discarded, cut into 3/4-inch cubes

Method

  • In a large shallow glass dish, stir together the ingredients for your choice of marinade.
  • Add the shrimp, chicken, and steak, turning to coat.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the grill on medium high.
  • Remove the shrimp, chicken, and steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.
  • Discard the marinade.
  • Thread the kebab ingredients alternately on four 10-inch metal skewers.
  • Grill the kebabs for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turns pink and is cooked through, the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the steak is the desired doneness.
  • Buy preskewered kebabs at the supermarket.
  • Be sure to choose the leanest ones.
  • If you want your steak cubes well done, use 3/4-inch cubes.
  • The 1-inch size will give you medium-well in this recipe.
