Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak Wooden Skewers (if using)

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

  2. 2

    Prepare Seafood

    Rinse the shrimp and scallops under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Chop Vegetables

    Cut the bell peppers and onion into chunks that are roughly the same size for even cooking.

  4. 4

    Make Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  5. 5

    Marinate Seafood

    Add the shrimp and scallops to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Skewer Ingredients

    Thread the marinated shrimp, scallops, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between the seafood and vegetables.

Cooking

  1. 7

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 8

    Grill Kebabs

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and the scallops are cooked through.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve Hot

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your Scallops and Shrimp Shish-Kebab!
