Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak & Shrimp:

  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1 ½-inch cubes

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Veggies (optional):

  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks

  • 1 small red onion, cut into chunks

  • Cherry tomatoes

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Marinade
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and zest, soy sauce, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Step 2: Marinate Steak and Shrimp
Divide marinade into two bowls. Toss steak cubes in one, shrimp in the other. Let them soak up the flavors for at least 20 minutes (up to 1 hour if you have time).

Step 3: Assemble the Kabobs
Thread steak, shrimp, and veggies alternately onto skewers. Leave a little space between pieces for even cooking.

Step 4: Fire Up the Grill
Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Cook kabobs for about 3-4 minutes per side, turning gently, until steak is cooked to your liking and shrimp are pink and opaque.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of chopped parsley. Pair with rice, grilled corn, or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • Swap steak for chicken or tofu for different protein vibes.

  • Add pineapple chunks or zucchini for a sweet and savory twist.

  • Spice it up with a pinch of cayenne or chili powder in the marinade.
