Asian seafood skewers

These seafood skewers are speedy, spicy and highly nutritious. The fish is high in protein, low in fat and contains omega-3 fatty acids, which help protect against heart disease. Mussels have three times more iron than meat and are a good source of zinc, an essential mineral that fights infection.
