Grilled Steak and Shrimp Skewers with Garlic Butter
A fantastic dish that brings together tender steak and juicy shrimp, perfect for summer barbecues or cozy dinners, enhanced by a delicious garlic butter sauce.
Ingredients
For the marinade
- 1 pound Sirloin steak (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for marinating the steak and shrimp)
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika adds a smoky flavor
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder enhances the garlic flavor
- To taste Salt and pepper for seasoning
For the garlic butter sauce
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (melted for the sauce)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice adds brightness to the sauce
- To taste Salt for seasoning the sauce
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed sirloin steak with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in parsley, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
- Thread the marinated steak and shrimp onto skewers, alternating between the two. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand.
Cooking
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the steak reaches desired doneness and the shrimp are pink and opaque.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the top before serving.
Notes
Serve these skewers hot off the grill. They pair wonderfully with a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or some garlic bread. A squeeze of lemon on top can add an extra burst of flavor! Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently.
