Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 12 pieces Sea scallops
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 6 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Place the shrimp and scallops in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the shrimp and scallops, tossing gently to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
While the seafood marinates, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the shrimp and scallops onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between the two.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and the scallops have a nice sear and are cooked through.
Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the skewers for garnish before serving.
Serve immediately with lime wedges or a side of your choice.
