Grilled surf-and-turf kabobs with juicy steak and garlic-butter shrimp—charred, flavorful, and ideal for summer grilling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1” cubes
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined (tails on or off)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Garlic-Butter Sauce: 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted; 4 cloves garlic, minced; zest of 1 lemon; 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Metal or soaked wooden skewers

Instructions

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for 20–30 minutes if using.
  2. Combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon zest, and parsley for the garlic-butter sauce; set aside.
  3. In a bowl, toss steak and shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Thread steak and shrimp alternately onto skewers.
  5. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high (around 425°F/220°C).
  6. Grill kabobs for 3–5 minutes per side until steak is done to your liking and shrimp are opaque and pink.
  7. Brush kabobs with garlic-butter sauce just before removing from heat.
  8. Let rest for 2–3 minutes, garnish with extra parsley, and serve.

Notes

  • Sirloin or ribeye steaks work best for tenderness and flavor.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini between the meat and shrimp for variety.
  • Marinate steak and shrimp for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
  • Refrigerate leftovers up to 3–4 days; reheat gently.
  • Serve with rice, salad, or grilled corn for a complete meal.
