Directions
Marinade
- In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, scotch bonnet pepper, thyme, black pepper, and cumin.
- Add the chicken pieces, flank steak strips, and shrimp to the marinade bowl. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to develop.
Pineapple Mango Salsa
- While the meats are marinating, prepare the pineapple salsa. In a bowl, combine the diced mangoes, diced pineapple, red onion, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Skewers
- Cut the bell peppers and red onion into similar bite-sized pieces.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken pieces, steak strips, shrimp, bell pepper squares, red onion wedges, and pineapple chunks onto skewers, alternating ingredients for visual appeal.
- Grill the skewers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the meats and seafood are cooked through and the vegetables are slightly softened. Brush the skewers occasionally with any leftover marinade while grilling.
- Arrange the grilled skewers on a serving platter. Serve with the prepared spicy pineapple salsa, and lime wedges.
