Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients, ensuring the steak is cut into one-inch cubes and the shrimp is cleaned and deveined.
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed sirloin steak with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, toss the shrimp with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let sit while the steak marinates.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then add minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat and stir in parsley, lemon juice, and salt.
- Thread marinated steak and shrimp onto skewers, alternating between the two. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Cooking
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until steak reaches desired doneness and shrimp turns pink and opaque.
- Remove skewers from the grill and drizzle with the garlic butter sauce before serving.
Serving
- Serve hot, garnished with extra chopped parsley if desired.
