Method

Grilled Shrimp and Scallop Skewers Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Seafood

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and scallops, tossing to coat. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Skewers

    Pre-soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes if using. Thread 2 shrimp and 2 scallops onto each skewer. Repeat until all seafood is used.

Roasted Poblano Cream Preparation

  1. 3

    Roast the Poblano Peppers

    Preheat your grill or oven to high heat. Roast the poblano peppers until the skin is charred and blistered, about 10-15 minutes. Remove and let cool, then peel off the skin, remove seeds, and chop.

  2. 4

    Make the Cream

    In a blender, combine the roasted poblano peppers, sour cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth. Stir in chopped cilantro if desired.

Grilling the Skewers

  1. 5

    Grill the Skewers

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the scallops are golden brown.
