Chipotle-Lime Halibut Kabobs

Time: 30 minutes active; 2.5 hours total. 10 minutes to prepare marinade and fish, 2 hours to marinate, and 20 minutes to skewer and grill kabobs.

Serves: 4

Inspired by: A friend of mine years ago, Linda, had me for dinner and made these kabobs. They are so easy, healthy and with awesome flavors!

Marinade Ingredients:

• Juice of 2 limes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon Chipotle powder
• 2 cloves crushed garlic
• 2 tablespoons light olive oil

Kabob Ingredients:

• 1-1.5 pounds of halibut steak, cut into 1 inch cubes
• 1 zucchini, 1 yellow squash, 1 small Japanese eggplant, 8-12 mushrooms  (or use your favorite veggies for grilling)

Preparation:

• Mix marinade ingredients well and then put the fish into the marinade for about 2 hours.
• When fish is ready, preheat your grill (or oven), cut the veggies and toss lightly with some of the marinade.
• Put the fish and veggies on skewers (you can put them all on the same skewers alternating colors so they look pretty).
• Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and put on a 350 degree grill for 12-15 minutes (alternatively you can bake these as well).

Wine Suggestions: I like this most with a Red Burgundy or California Pinot Noir, but the spicy contrast with an off-dry white would also be nice.
