Recipe: Keto Surf and Turf Skewers
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Marinating Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Servings: 4
Ingredients
For the Skewers:
- 1 pound steak (such as ribeye or sirloin), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 medium zucchini, cut into thick slices
- 1 medium bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8-10 cherry tomatoes
- Olive oil for brushing
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
For the Marinade:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients until well combined.
- Place the steak cubes and shrimp in separate resealable bags or containers. Pour half of the marinade over the steak and the other half over the shrimp. Seal the bags or cover the containers and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or preheat the oven to 425ยฐF (220ยฐC). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated steak, shrimp, zucchini slices, bell pepper pieces, red onion pieces, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients.
- Brush the skewers with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness and the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Alternatively, if using the oven, place the skewers on a lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish the Surf and Turf Skewers with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
