I interrupt my scheduling again today for the brilliant recipe my husband made yesterday.
We were having my brother and his family over for a braai (barbecue) and we were wanting to serve something different for a change so when my husband woke up yesterday morning and suggested kebabs, we set off to our local store to see what they had on offer. We went through a few iterations of goodies in our basket until we settled on chicken breasts, shrimps, red peppers and onions. For the marinade, my husband used a bottle of beer, which in hindsight should have been half a bottle, just because the marinade was a bit too watery for basting and a bottle of sweet chilli sauce.
These kebabs were absolutely delicious and are well worth making.
Pete’s Chicken and Shrimp Kebabs
Ingredients
18 wooden skewers soaked in water
4 chicken breasts cut into cubes
1 packet frozen shrimps defrosted
2 red peppers de-seeded and cubed
1 large onion cut into cubes
1/2 bottle beer
295ml bottle sweet chilli sauce
Method
- Combine the beer and chilli sauce in a bowl and add the chicken and shrimps and mix through. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Alternate threading the skewers with the peppers, chicken, onion and shrimp – any order will do.
- Braai over mediums coals basting with the marinade.

These sound fantastic, wouldn’t have thought of braaing shrimp like that, thanks 🙂
Must say, they were super delicious! Sadly though, no leftovers for lunch today.
Pete, jou lekker ding! Will definitely try this recipe!
Hi Geoff, Pete will be thrilled you are going to give his recipe at try.
Chicken, shrimps and beer! It sounds like an Aussie barbeque, Mandy! Great recipe, good on your Pete! 🙂
Thanks Celia. 🙂
Wow this would be great here in NZ, its summer time to bring out the grill and bring some friends in. I noticed you mixed beer and chilli sauce, never thought of that before in a kebab, surely it would taste really great
I must say, the beer and sweet chilli sauce was a great combination.
I’ve never combined shrimp and chicken together in BBQing before. This sounds like a fantastic idea 🙂
It was a great combination Tes, hope you give it a try. 🙂
Yuuuum! I’m so jealous that you have BBQ weather right now. I love shrimp with a little spicy sweet. Dee-licious.
Wish I could send you some warm weather. Hope you enjoy these when you do make them. 🙂
I love that your husband is now in on the fun! I’m jealous…could use a little help in the kitchen.
My husband is a very adventurous chef and he always creates something scrumptious. I hope you get help in the kitchen soon.
sounds like you got a great marinade going on there, I bet those kebabs were delicious!!
Now I just wish it was warm enough to BBQ!
Cheers
Dennis
