Additional Ingredients Needed to Make These BEST Shrimp and Scallop Kabobs! 

• garlic powder

• paprika

• sea salt

• cayenne pepper

• fresh black pepper

• Worcestershire sauce ( Lea & Perrins)

• wooden 8″ kabob sticks 

Directions:

1.  First,  soak wooden kabob sticks in water for one hour.  Remove, let to slightly dry.

2.  Next, place shrimp and scallops in a resealable plastic bag, then insert it into another plastic bag to prevent leakage.

3.  In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and microwave for 1-2 minutes or until the butter is melted.  Stir and set aside about 1/3 of the juice for basting.

 

 

 

4.  Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp and scallops.   Seal the bag and refrigerate for one hour or overnight, turning the bag over occasionally.

 

5.  Drain and discard the marinade – you will notice that some of the juice has hardened because of the butter…This is how it is supposed to look.

6.  Thread kabobs alternately using scallops and shrimp.

 

7.  Heat the grill, and place them on the BBQ uncovered, over medium heat, and grill for about 3 to 5 minutes per side, turning once.

8.  Brush each side with the remaining marinade.   Grill until shrimp turns pink and scallops are opaque.  Remove and serve.

 

ENJOY!!
