Instructions
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the minced fresh ginger, minced garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, olive oil, butter, and honey. Whisk together until all the ingredients are well incorporated, creating a fragrant marinade that will infuse your seafood and vegetables with incredible flavor.
-
-
Marinate the Seafood: Pour one-third of the prepared marinade into a separate bowl, and add the shrimp and sea scallops. Make sure the seafood is well-coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for about 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and penetrate the seafood.
-
Marinate the Vegetables: In another bowl, take one-quarter of the reserved marinade and pour it over the green pepper, Spanish onion, and mushrooms. Toss the vegetables gently until they are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for approximately 30 minutes, allowing them to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
-
Assemble the Kebabs: After the seafood and vegetables have marinated, it’s time to assemble the kebabs. Alternate threading the marinated shrimp, sea scallops, and vegetables onto skewers. You can use metal or soaked wooden skewers to prevent them from burning on the grill.
-
Grill the Kebabs: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the assembled kebabs on the grill. While grilling, baste the kebabs frequently with the remaining reserved marinade, ensuring that every bite is packed with flavor. Grill the kebabs for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn opaque and the scallops are cooked through, achieving a beautiful char on the outside.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the kebabs are perfectly grilled, remove them from the heat. Serve these succulent Grilled Shrimp and Scallops Kebabs warm, paired with a simple noodle dish, fluffy steamed rice, or a crisp green salad for a refreshing contrast. Enjoy this special seafood dish that is sure to be a hit at your dinner table!
