Recipe makes for 2-4 Servings

1/4 lb shrimp

1/4 lb small octopus

1/4 lb scallops

1 tbsp lime juice

skewers

MARINADE:

1 tsp cumin seeds, toasted

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

6 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1/2 tsp ground turmeric

1/2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp dried thyme leaves

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice


Directions:

Make the marinade by grinding the cumin seeds to a powder. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the oil and lemon juice and grind to a coarse paste. 

During grinding, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until all ingredients are ground. Add any remaining olive oil and the lemon juice. 

In a bowl, add the seafood, lime juice and 1/4 of the marinade. Toss to evenly coat the seafood. Marinate for 30 minutes. 

Remove the seafood from the marinade and thread the same seafood on one skewer; this allows you to better control the grill time.

Place the skewered seafood onto the grill over high heat. for about 2-3 minutes. When the seafood starts to brown, move it to the medium heat zone and grill it for another 3-4 minutes, turning frequently.


When done, remove from skewers and serve on platter with the remaining 1/2 cup of the marinade.
