This week's recipe is one of my summer favorites. Not only is it very easy to prepare, but also puts you into that summer vacation frame of mind. By simply and creatively combining fruit/fruit-based sauces with seafood, you, too, can create tropical summer dishes to prepare and place on skewers to cook on the grill or bake in the oven.
Some fruits that go very well with seafood are lemon, orange, apple, apricot, mango, papaya, lime, etc. Some herbs that go very well with seafood are: dill, cilantro, parsley, thyme, etc. The possibilities are certainly endless. So take your tastebuds on a tropical journey and experiment with fruits and spices until you come with your perfect recipe.
