Ingredients
Protein
- 1 pound steak, cut into 1.5 inch chunks (top sirloin or other grilling steak, about 1.25 inches thick)
- 1 pound large shrimp, de-veined and shells removed
Marinade and Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garlic Butter
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted (if using unsalted, add ½ teaspoon salt)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Zest of one small lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend (or Herbs de Provence)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, fresh parsley, minced garlic, garlic powder, lemon zest, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to blend all flavors and set aside for later use.
- Season Meat and Shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the steak chunks and shrimp with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring all pieces are coated.
- Assemble Kabobs: Alternately thread chunks of steak and shrimp onto skewers, preparing them for grilling.
- Grill Kabobs: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place kabobs on the grill and cook, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking. For medium doneness, grill for about 10 minutes until the steak is cooked through and shrimp are opaque and firm.
- Brush with Garlic Butter and Serve: Remove kabobs from grill and immediately brush them generously with the prepared garlic butter. Serve hot for a delicious surf and turf meal.
Notes
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Feel free to substitute steak cuts with ribeye or sirloin for added tenderness.
- For spicier kabobs, add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
- Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
