# How-To Guide:
01 - Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until fully combined.
02 - Add steak cubes and shrimp to the marinade. Toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.
03 - Preheat grill to medium-high heat, approximately 425°F. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 20 minutes prior to use.
04 - Thread steak and shrimp alternately onto skewers, leaving adequate space between pieces for even heat circulation.
05 - Place skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until steak reaches medium-rare and shrimp are opaque and pink.
06 - Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
07 - Transfer skewers from grill to a serving platter. Drizzle generously with warm garlic butter sauce. Garnish with additional parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The combination of smoky steak and sweet shrimp feels fancy without the restaurant price tag
- That garlic butter sauce makes everything taste better than it has any right to
02 -
- Shrimp cook way faster than steak, so cut your steak into slightly larger pieces if you want everything to finish at the same time
- Do not marinate the shrimp for longer than 30 minutes or the acid will start to break down the texture and make them mushy
03 -
- Metal skewers cook the food from the inside out and can help everything finish more evenly, but wooden skewers are easier to handle and give you that authentic cookout vibe
- Let the skewers rest for a couple of minutes after grilling so the juices redistribute, then hit them with the garlic butter at the very last second
