What is shish kebab?

Shish kebab is a popular dish consisting of small pieces of meat, seafood, or vegetables grilled on a skewer. It is believed to have originated in the Middle East, where it has been enjoyed for centuries.

Shish kebabs are typically made with lamb, beef, chicken, or seafood, such as shrimp or fish, but can also include vegetables like onions, peppers, and zucchini. The meat is cut into small pieces and marinated in a variety of spices, herbs, and oils, then threaded onto a skewer and grilled over an open fire or in an oven.

The skewers are often pre-cooked before being served, but some restaurants may offer them raw for customers to cook at the table. Shish kebabs are often served with rice, pita bread, or other sides.

Shish kebabs are a popular street food in many parts of the world and are often enjoyed at outdoor gatherings and picnics. They are also a popular dish at Middle Eastern restaurants and have become increasingly popular in Western cuisine as well.
