This one is very basic but good for a Super bowl crowd and really easy to prepare for a lot of people!!
- U-10 shrimp
- large sea scallops
- cherry tomatoes
- red or white onions
- red and green bell peppers
- portabello mushrooms
- italian dressing
If using wood skewers make sure you soak them for about a half hour in water prior to using them so they dont burn and catch on fire on the grill. Metal skewers are the best!
Devein your shrimp and rinse both shrimp and scallops with cold water. Cut all of your veggies into 2"x2" pieces. Take a cherry tomato and slide it on the point side of the skewer and slide it all the way to the bottom. Then stagger your veggies and shellfish onto the skewers. (1) mush, (1) pepper, (1) shrimp, (1) onion, (1) scallop, etc until you reach the top capping it off with another cherry pepper. Marinate the finished seafood skewers for at least a half hour in italian dressing before gilling on medium high heat. Clean the grill and lube with vegetable oil before grilling so nothing sticks.
You can sub just about any veg you want. The veggies above are the ones most commonly used in restaraunts. You can also use chicken, beef, pork, lamb etc in place of the shellfish or create your own with seafood and meat. Stay away from fish unless its dense like tuna or mako and then you will need to crank the grill up a little higher. You also can pick a different marinade, teryiaki, soy, mesquite, etc. Good luck!
