Ingredients
Scale
For the Marinade and Proteins
- 1 pound Sirloin Steak, cut into cubes
- 1 pound Large Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil (for marinating)
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Pepper (to taste)
For the Garlic Butter Sauce
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (can substitute with salted if preferred)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (for added freshness)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all ingredients and equipment needed for the recipe. Cut the sirloin steak into cubes and peel and devein the shrimp if not already done.
- Marinate Proteins: In a large bowl, combine the cubed sirloin steak with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly coat and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Prepare Shrimp: In a separate bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, salt, and pepper, ensuring they are fully coated and ready to be skewered.
- Make Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté gently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice, then remove the sauce from heat, keeping it warm for serving.
- Assemble Skewers: Alternate threading pieces of marinated sirloin steak and shrimp onto skewers, ensuring an even distribution of both proteins to cook consistently.
- Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the assembled skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, flipping carefully until the steak is cooked to desired doneness and the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and immediately drizzle the warm garlic butter sauce over them. Serve hot as a delightful main course.
Notes
- For best results, let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes but no more than 2 hours to avoid the meat becoming tough.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning on the grill.
- You can customize the seasoning by adding chili flakes for heat or using fresh herbs in the marinade for extra flavor.
- Ensure shrimp are not overcooked to keep them tender and juicy.
- Serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
