Juicy shrimp, tender scallops, and firm white fish are grilled to perfection with vibrant vegetables for a fresh and elegant dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 lb scallops
- 1 lb firm white fish (like tuna or swordfish), cut into cubes
- 1 bell pepper, cut into squares
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Marinate the seafood: Add shrimp, scallops, and fish to the marinade and toss gently. Let sit for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high (about 400–450°F) and clean the grates to prevent sticking.
- Thread the skewers: Alternate seafood and vegetables on each skewer, leaving space between pieces for heat circulation.
- Grill: Place skewers on the hot grate and grill for about 2–3 minutes per side until cooked through, watching closely.
- Serve: Transfer skewers to a warm platter, garnish with herbs and a squeeze of lemon, and serve immediately.
Notes
For the best texture, avoid over-marinating seafood in the marinade. Use firm fish to prevent falling apart on skewers.
