Brian's First Meal - Surf & Turf Shish Kabobs


For Brian's first meal, he wanted to create something familiar but unique for his fellow "newbie foodies." Upon examining the meat collection at the local market, he decided on a combination of sea and land. After a stroll down the vegetable aisle, he was dead set on his presentation.

Arriving late to the condominium after a rousing round of golf at the local course, Brian quickly threw the meat in a plastic bag to soak with an aromatic mango curry marinade. As he cut the onions, tears of joy began to stream down his face in anticipation of this inevitably perfect meal.


The vegetables (onions and red, yellow and green bell peppers) took a bath with the shrimp in a sesame ginger marinade in the refrigerator. After the ingredients were saturated with flavor, it was time to cook the steak.

Brian cooked the steak in its own juices and the mango curry at medium heat until it was rare. While the meat was cooking, the vegetables were removed from the fridge and sat in low heat until it was time to bring it all together. He then removed the meat and cut it into cubes fit for a stick.

Being the perfectionist that he is, Brian carefully counted all of his ingredients to ensure equitable distribution. The results were immaculate. As the kabobs finished cooking in final form, the other two licked their chops. In the end, the meal was the second consecutive success and all three of the rook cooks were surprised at their previously unrealized abilities.

The ease of this meal received 4 out of 10 Spatulas

I like the presentation, but you boys do need a grill. I made some cholula chili lime pork chops with red beans and rice with a spinach salad tonight, electric. Keep up the good work
