Ingredients

• 500 grams Meat or seafood (pork, lamb, prawns, or chicken)
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 teaspoons Paprika (sweet or smoked)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

1. Cut the chosen meat or seafood into bite-sized cubes (about 2.5 cm / 1 inch) if necessary, and set aside.

Step 2

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 3

3. Add the meat or seafood to the bowl with the marinade. Mix well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for more flavor).

Step 4

4. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 5

5. Preheat a grill, grill pan, or broiler on medium-high heat.

Step 6

6. Thread the marinated meat or seafood onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 7

7. Grill or broil the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is fully cooked and lightly charred. (Cooking time will vary depending on the protein: prawns cook faster, while pork or lamb may take slightly longer.)

Step 8

8. Remove the skewers from the heat, let them rest for a couple of minutes, and serve warm with lemon wedges or dipping sauces if desired.
