The practice of grilling meat on skewers is ancient and found across many cultures. In Brazil, the churrasco tradition, with its large cuts of meat grilled over open flames, heavily influenced the development of espetinhos. Espetinhos evolved as a more accessible and portable version of churrasco, making it a popular street food.

Espetinhos offer a diverse range of flavors, typically featuring savory, smoky, and sometimes spicy notes. The flavors depend heavily on the marinade and the type of meat used.
Common flavors include: Savory from the meat itself (beef, chicken, pork), Salty from seasoning, Smoky from the grilling process over charcoal or wood, Herbaceous from marinades including garlic, parsley, or chimichurri. Some espetinhos may incorporate spices like cumin, paprika, or chili flakes for a spicy kick. A squeeze of lime is often added just before serving to brighten the flavors.

Marinating Matters
Marinating the meat for at least 30 minutes (or ideally overnight) allows the flavors to penetrate deeply, resulting in a more tender and flavorful espetinho.
Grilling Technique
Grill over medium heat to prevent burning the outside while ensuring the inside is cooked through. Turn the skewers frequently for even cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve espetinhos hot off the grill with farofa (toasted cassava flour), chimichurri sauce, hot sauce, and a squeeze of lime. Cold beer or caipirinhas are the perfect beverage pairings.
