Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

24 uncooked large shrimp, unpeeled, deveined (thawed if frozen)
12 chicken tenders
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon peel
2 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 cup olive oil
Baby lettuces

Steps:

  • Thread 4 shrimp on each of 6 metal skewers; place on rimmed baking sheet. Loosely thread 2 chicken tenders on each of 6 metal skewers; place on another rimmed baking sheet. Whisk lemon juice, lemon peel, and garlic in medium bowl; slowly whisk in oil. Season marinade with salt and pepper. Pour marinade over skewers, dividing equally.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Arrange lettuces on large platter. Grill chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Grill shrimp until pink on outside and opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side. Remove kebabs from grill; place atop lettuce. Serve with Tomato-Avocado Salsa and Chipotle Aioli .

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the marinade will be. Look for plump, juicy shrimp and chicken breasts without any signs of spoilage.
  • Use a variety of flavorful ingredients: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs, spices, and citrus fruits to create a marinade that's unique and delicious. Some popular options include garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey, and lemon juice.
  • Let the chicken and shrimp marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the chicken and shrimp marinate, the more flavor they will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate them for as little as 15 minutes, but the longer you marinate them, the better.
  • Cook the chicken and shrimp over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from drying out. If you're grilling the chicken and shrimp, cook them over indirect heat to avoid flare-ups.
  • Serve the chicken and shrimp immediately: Once they're cooked, serve the chicken and shrimp immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include rice, pasta, salad, and vegetables.

Conclusion:

Chicken and shrimp are two versatile ingredients that can be marinated in a variety of ways. By following the tips above, you can create a marinade that will make your chicken and shrimp taste delicious. Whether you're grilling, baking, or frying your chicken and shrimp, a good marinade will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
