Ingredients:

• For the Beef:

  • 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 2 tbsp Claibe's Texas Style Brisket Rub

• For the Shrimp:

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 ½ tbsp Claibe's Texas VooDoo Spicey Cajun Rub

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

• For the Pineapple:

  • 1 fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch chunks

  • 1 tbsp Claibe's Sweet-n-Smokey Chicken & Pork Rub

• For Assembly:

  • Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes)

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)

  • Lime wedges for serving

The Prep:

Season the Beef: In a large bowl, toss the beef cubes with Claibe's Texas Style Brisket Rub. Mix well, ensuring all the beef pieces are evenly coated. Let it sit for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator to absorb the flavors.

Prepare the Shrimp: In another bowl, combine the shrimp with Claibe's Texas VooDoo Spicey Cajun Rub and lemon juice. Allow the shrimp to marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Season the Pineapple: In a separate bowl, sprinkle the pineapple chunks with Claibe's Sweet-n-Smokey Chicken & Pork Rub. Set aside until ready to assemble.

The Cook:

Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the seasoned beef, shrimp, and pineapple onto the skewers, alternating between each ingredient for a colorful and flavorful combination.

Grill the Kabobs: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kabobs for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally. For medium-rare beef, cook until the beef reaches an internal temperature of 135°F. The shrimp should be opaque, and the pineapple should have a nice char with caramelized edges.

Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

Serving Suggestions:

These kabobs are perfect served alongside a light and refreshing side salad, grilled corn on the cob, or a chilled quinoa salad. Pair with a cold, crisp beer or a zesty margarita to complete the meal.

Additional Notes:

• Nutritional Info: This dish is high in protein and packed with vitamins from the pineapple, making it a delicious and balanced meal option.

  
  

• Variations: For a milder version, swap the Texas VooDoo Spicey Cajun Rub for Claibe's SPG All Purpose Rub.

  
  

• Pro Tip: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the beef for perfect doneness without overcooking the shrimp.
