Tips:
- Choose fresh and high-quality seafood. The fresher the seafood, the better the kabobs will taste. Look for shrimp and scallops that are firm and have a slightly briny smell.
- Marinate the seafood before cooking. Marinating the seafood helps to add flavor and moisture. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or you can get creative and try a more complex marinade.
- Cook the seafood over medium heat. Overcooking the seafood will make it tough and chewy. Cook the shrimp and scallops over medium heat until they are just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve the kabobs immediately. The kabobs are best served hot off the grill. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tzatziki sauce, cocktail sauce, or tartar sauce.
Conclusion:
Barbecued shrimp and scallop kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make summer dish. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your kabobs are cooked to perfection and full of flavor. So fire up your grill and give this recipe a try!
