03 - 3 tbsp olive oil
04 - 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

13 - 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
14 - 1/2 tsp salt
15 - 1/4 tsp black pepper

16 - Lemon wedges
17 - Extra chopped parsley
# How to Make It:
01 - In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
02 - Add steak cubes and shrimp to the marinade. Toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.
03 - Preheat grill to medium-high heat (425°F). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes prior to use.
04 - Thread steak and shrimp alternately onto skewers, ensuring pieces are well spaced for even cooking.
05 - Place skewers on the grill. Cook, turning occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes or until steak reaches medium-rare and shrimp are opaque and pink.
06 - Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Stir in parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
07 - Remove skewers from the grill. Immediately drizzle with warm garlic butter sauce. Garnish with extra parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
# Tips for Success:
01 -
- The surf and turf combo feels fancy without the fancy price tag or restaurant wait times
- That garlic butter sauce makes everything taste better than you thought possible
02 -
- Overcooked shrimp becomes rubbery fast, pull them the second they turn pink and opaque
- Room temperature steak cubes grill more evenly than cold straight from the fridge
03 -
- Pat everything dry before marinating for better sear marks and flavor adhesion
- Let finished skewers rest for 2 minutes before serving so juices redistribute
