Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 8 pieces Sea scallops
- 2 6-ounce portions Salmon fillets
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Rinse the shrimp, scallops, and salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, melted butter, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to create a marinade.
Divide the marinade into two portions: one for brushing onto the seafood before grilling and one for drizzling over after cooking.
Brush the shrimp, scallops, and salmon with the first portion of the marinade, ensuring even coating.
Place the seafood on the hot grill. Grill the shrimp and scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and have grill marks. Grill the salmon fillets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your preferred level of doneness.
Once the seafood is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Drizzle the reserved marinade over the cooked seafood for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve the grilled seafood platter immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
