Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Skewers

    Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, black pepper, salt, and paprika until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cut the Protein

    If using steak, cut it into 1-inch cubes. If using shrimp, ensure they are peeled and deveined.

Marinating

  1. 4

    Marinate the Protein

    Place the steak or shrimp in a resealable plastic bag or a bowl and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to overnight for best flavor).

Skewering

  1. 5

    Assemble the Skewers

    After marinating, thread the protein (steak or shrimp) onto the soaked skewers, alternating with bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini if desired.

Grilling

  1. 6

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your wood grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 7

    Grill the Skewers

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness or the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your wood grilled skewers!
