Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin steak
- 1 lb large shrimp
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Cut the sirloin steak into 1-inch cubes and peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on if desired.
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Divide the marinade in half, setting one portion aside for basting. Add the steak cubes to one half of the marinade and the shrimp to the other half. Cover and refrigerate both for 20 minutes.
While the steak and shrimp marinate, prepare the vegetables by cutting the bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the steak and shrimp from the marinade, discarding the used marinade. Thread the steak, shrimp, bell peppers, and red onion onto skewers, alternating between each ingredient for a balanced presentation.
Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, brushing with the reserved marinade halfway through cooking, until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness and the shrimp is opaque.
Remove skewers from the grill and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, salad, or grilled vegetables.
