📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if using wooden ones to prevent burning.

2. Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes and pat the shrimp and scallops dry with paper towels.

3. Chop the bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces for skewering.

4. In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.

5. Add the seafood to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.

6. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the jasmine rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until cooked.

7. While the rice cooks, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly brush with vegetable oil.

8. Thread the marinated seafood, bell peppers, and red onions onto the soaked skewers, alternating between seafood and vegetables.

9. Grill the kabobs for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the seafood is cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

10. In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together peanut butter, sriracha, and 2 tablespoons of warm water until smooth. Stir the peanut mixture into the cooked jasmine rice until evenly coated.

11. Plate the spicy peanut rice, top with the grilled seafood kabobs, and garnish with chopped roasted peanuts, fresh cilantro, and scallions.

12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
