Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 pieces sea scallops
- 0.75 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 12 pieces pineapple chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional garnish)
- 6 bamboo skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the marinade.
Add the shrimp and scallops to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour for stronger flavor).
While the seafood marinates, prepare the skewers by threading a piece of red bell pepper, a shrimp, a pineapple chunk, a scallop, and a piece of green bell pepper onto each skewer. Repeat this pattern until all skewers are assembled.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with sesame oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the shrimp and scallops from the marinade, reserving the marinade for basting. Place the skewers on the preheated grill.
Cook the kebabs for 3-4 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, and the scallops are cooked through.
Sprinkle the cooked kebabs with sesame seeds and garnish with scallions, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
