Equipment

  • grill
  • Grill Pan
  • skewers

Ingredients
  

For the Skewers

  • 1 block halloumi cheese cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups seedless watermelon cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons chili crisp such as Lao Gan Ma
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint or cilantro
  • 8 wooden or metal skewers if wooden, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Thread alternating cubes of halloumi and watermelon onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
  • Brush the skewers lightly with olive oil.
  • Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, until the halloumi is golden brown with grill marks and the watermelon is slightly charred.
  • Transfer skewers to a serving plate. Drizzle with chili crisp and fresh lime juice, then sprinkle with chopped mint or cilantro.
  • Serve immediately while the halloumi is warm and the watermelon is cool.
