Ingredients

• 12 pieces yabbies
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 8 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.

Step 2

If using fresh yabbies, blanch them in boiling water for 2 minutes, then immediately transfer to ice-cold water to stop the cooking process. Peel and devein the tails, discarding the shells.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 4

Place the yabbie tails in a large zip-lock bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the tails, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.

Step 5

While the yabbies are marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.

Step 6

Thread the marinated yabbie tails onto the soaked skewers, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion to create colorful kabobs.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Grill the kabobs for 2-3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the yabbie tails are cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred but still tender.

Step 9

Remove the kabobs from the grill and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 10

Serve the Yabbie Kabobs immediately with a side of lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce.
