Dive into the delicious world of Grilled Seafood Skewers featuring shrimp, fish, and colorful veggies, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound white fish (like cod, halibut, or snapper), cut into bite-sized chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 minced cloves garlic
- Juice from one lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prep the seafood: In a bowl, combine shrimp and fish. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Chop your veggies: While seafood marinates, chop bell peppers and onions into 1-inch chunks and wash cherry tomatoes.
- Assemble the skewers: Thread shrimp and fish onto skewers, alternating with veggies and tomatoes. Don’t cram too tightly.
- Preheat the grill: Heat grill to medium-high (375°F to 400°F).
- Grill the skewers: Cook skewers for about 2-3 minutes on each side until shrimp are pink and opaque, and the fish flakes easily.
- Finish with fresh herbs: Remove skewers from the grill and sprinkle with chopped herbs and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Notes
Marinating in a Ziploc bag makes it easy to coat every piece without the mess. Serve with a lemon wedge for extra zest!
