Directions

Combine all the marinade ingredients in a nonreactive (glass or ceramic) mixing bowl. Add the seafood and mix to coat well. Refrigerate overnight.

Dry roast the cumin, caraway and cardamom seeds for 2–3 minutes in a cast iron skillet or wok over low heat. Cool, then add the peppercorns and pound in a mortar and pestle to a fine powder.

In a blender or food processor, blend the coriander, parsley, spices, garlic, chilli peppers and olive oil together with ½ cup water until a thick, smooth paste is formed.

Transfer the paste into a saucepan, heat until it starts bubbling, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until the water is evaporated. Cool, transfer to an airtight container and chill.

Remove the seafood from the marinade and drain in a colander. Save the marinade for basting the kebabs later. Thread the seafood onto skewers or satay sticks.

Char-grill the kebabs over hot coals, basting and turning every few minutes. It should take about 10 minutes to cook.

Serve with the zhoug sauce as a dipping sauce.
