Instructions
Preparation
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 20-30 minutes or use metal skewers.
- Cut steak into even cubes and season or marinate as desired.
- Prep shrimp by peeling, deveining, and patting dry. Season lightly.
Assembly
- Assemble skewers by alternating steak and shrimp or make separate skewers for each.
- Leave a small space between ingredients on the skewers to allow for even cooking.
Grilling
- Heat grill to medium-high (around 400-450°F).
- Start with steak skewers; grill for 6-10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes.
- Add shrimp skewers after steak and grill for 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Brush with garlic butter sauce immediately after removing from grill.
Notes
For best results, ensure shrimp is dry before grilling. Rest steak for 5 minutes after grilling. Skewers can be customized with veggies like bell peppers or zucchini.
