Tropical Mahi Mahi Kabobs



It's summer time and what better way to enjoy it then with some tropical kabobs! These kabobs are great for barbeques, pool parties, or just a day for grilling. They taste great, they look great, and best of all they are great to make! :)


Ingredients:
  • 4 tbsp. of brown sugar
  • 6 tbsp. of soy sauce
  • 32 cubes of pineapple (I bought the pre-cut pineapple, but you can easily buy a whole one and cut it yourself )
  • 24 cubes of mahi mahi or about 1.25 lb
  • 1 red bell pepper 
  • 1 orange bell pepper
  • 1 small sweet onion or 1/2 of a big one
  • wooden skewers

Preparation:

  • In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and soy sauce. 
  • Cut the bell peppers, onions, pineapple, and mahi mahi into squares. Toss the peppers, onions, and mahi mahi in the mixture.

Instructions: ( definitely recommend grilling, because you get the smoky taste!),
  1. For the oven. Preheat oven at 375 F. 
  2. Thread the pineapple, mahi mahi, bell peppers and onion onto twelve 12 inch skewers. Brush the kabobs with mixture, oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the kabobs on a baking sheet. Pour any remaining mixture. Rotate every 4 minutes to cook for about 15-20 minutes. Transfer to platter.
  4. For the grill. Rotate occasionally, and cook for about 10 minutes. 

Costs:
  • 4 tbsp. of brown sugar
  • 6 tbsp. of soy sauce
  • 32 cubes of pineapple- $3.48
  • 12 cubes of mahi mahi or about 1.25 lb- $9
  • 1 red bell pepper- $1.68
