You will see that, this "skewer", is  very easy to prepare but also very rich for eat. We will use frozen products so it is very cheap (this is something that your guests do no need to know).

(for 3 people):


Three skewers per person:

- 3 small tails of frozen Monkfish

- 18 medium size frozen prawns
- 1 red Pepper
- 1 Green Pepper

- Onion
- 9 wooden Sticks(skiwers)

- Olive oil

- Salt

- Thaw monkfish tails (better if you do it at room temperature). Then thoroughly clean and cut into cubes.
- Thaw prawns (better if you do it at room temperature). Then bake them (it is enough 4 minutes in microwave, inmersed in a bowl with salted water). Peel the prawns and discard shell and head.  

- Cut 18 "hoops" of red pepper.
- Cut 18 "hoops" of green pepper.
- Cortar 18 small pieces of onion.

First.  In skillet with a Llttle olive oil, saute the diced monkfish (Brown it for not more than 2 minutes) taking care are done for the 4 sides and reserve.

Second. In the same pan, after removing the monkfish, saute the red pepper and green peppers rings as well as the pieces of onion. It is not required it is completely cooked so only 2 minutes will be enough time. Remove and reserve.

Third. To assembly the skewer, add first 1 slice of red pepper, then 1 cube of monkfish, then 1 slice of Green pepper, then 1 piece of onion and, finally, 1 prawn. Repeat this sequence till you finish. Each skewer should have, at least, two pieces of monkfish and two prawns.

Fourth.  In the same pan we used before, put the skewers and finish browning them (turn around when it is necessary). It should be enough 2 minutes by each side.

In total, no more tan 20 minutes (if you do not count the defrosting time) and you will have a fun dish that always is successfull.

Note

Of course, you can use fresh prawns and monkfish. It is more expensive but you do not need to lose time defrosting the ingredients.
