Ingrediants:

• Chicken breast
• Deveined shrimp
• 3 limes
• 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• Olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne
• Jalapeños
• Red onion

Instructions:

Mix the Marinade: first, mix the zesty marinade. Add one teaspoon of coriander, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne, and two tablespoons of olive oil into a mixing bowl. Grate the zest of one lime into the mix and combine.

Start Marinading: divide the marinade into two bowls. In the first bowl, toss the chicken breast and cut it into thirds. In the second, toss the shrimp until covered.

Grill on the Barbecue: take the jalapenos and red onion and mix them with two tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. When all of the components have been marinaded, thread each skewer with alternations of shrimp, chicken, and veggies. Place each skewer on the BBQ and grill for 8-10 minutes.

Serve: when each skewer is nicely charred and cooked all the way through, serve with tortillas and sour cream.

Tuna isn’t your only protein option in a poke bowl. Are you looking to try something else? Check out these three great protein options.

Octopus

While octopus might not be a common seafood in many places, many cultures, such as those of Spain, Japan, and Greece, adore this cephalopod’s flavor. It goes surprisingly well as a tuna substitute in poke bowls, as its buttery and rich texture is a pleasant shock to many inexperienced eaters.

Shrimp

Are you a little wary of the idea of eating raw fish in your poke bowl? Cooked shrimp can also be substituted as a protein option in a poke bowl, preserving the seafood essence of the dish while not offering worries about eating uncooked fish. It tastes great, too!

Tofu

Looking for a vegan poke bowl protein option? Tofu is a great choice, as it easily acquires the flavors of the marinade in which it is prepared. The texture comes pretty close to the “real” thing of tuna, and you might be surprised at just how tasty it is.

Scallops

Scallops are one of the easiest foods to cook. All you have to do is sear them on one side for a few minutes until the naturally release from the pan, flip it over, and cook for just a couple more minutes. The biggest part is making sure the pan is sizzling hot so the outside gets golden brown quickly. To add flavor to your scallops, you can infuse the butter or oil you’re using with fresh herbs.

Shrimp

Cooking shrimp is even faster than scallops, even when they are completely raw. If you are using fresh shrimp, make sure they are deveined, which means getting rid of the black line of goo going down the middle. Then, either sautee them for about 4-5 minutes until they turn pink, or boil them for 1-3 minutes until they become pink.
