Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 12 pieces scallops
- 8 ounces firm white fish (e.g., cod or halibut), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 piece red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 piece yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
- 1 medium red onion, cut into chunks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the shrimp, scallops, and fish cubes in a large bowl. Pour half the marinade over the seafood, toss to coat, and let it sit for 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
In another bowl, toss the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with the remaining marinade.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat the broiler to high and line a baking sheet with foil.
Thread the seafood and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between shrimp, scallops, fish, and vegetables for a colorful presentation. Discard any leftover marinade.
Place the kabobs on the preheated grill or under the broiler. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the seafood is opaque and cooked through, and the vegetables are slightly charred and tender.
Remove the kabobs from the heat and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Seafood Kabobs!
