Grilled Shrimp and Scallop Kabobs
Grilled shrimp and scallop kabobs are a perfect choice for summer grilling. They’re quick to make, easy to serve, and delicious as an entrée or paired with small bites and a glass of wine
Summer and grilling go hand in hand and it if you’re like me, you’ll be grilling a lot of yummy food in the upcoming months and seafood is always on my rotation. If you like grilled shrimp, you will love grilled miso shrimp and grilled shrimp with lemon ginger dipping sauce are the perfect summer grilling appetizer.
Grilled lemon
Grill lemon halves for any seafood that you are grilling, just for a few minutes. This makes the lemon sweeter and more flavorful for squeezing over the shrimp and scallops.
When it comes to seafood, I like to keep it simple with the seasoning. If the seafood is good, you want to to taste it. Salt, pepper and lemon is all you need make these grilled shrimp and scallop kabobs so good. Don’t forget, the grilling adds flavor too (my mouth is watering).
Serving tip: Skewer up some zucchini, onion and tomatoes for a complete meal cooked on the grill.
Grilled Shrimp and Scallop Kabobs
Ingredients
- 16 sea scallops

Instructions

- When the grill is very hot, add the skewers and lemons flesh side down and close the lid. The lemon wedges will only take but a minute, so remove them first.
- Grill for 1-2 minutes. If the scallops stick, they are not ready to turn. Once they release, turn and grill for 1 more minute. Remove from grill and serve with the grilled lemon.
I completely agree, keeping the seasoning simple with seafood is the way to go. Can’t wait for my new grill to arrive so I can make these.
