These Spicy Grilled Seafood Skewers are a delightful combination of shrimp and scallops marinated in a flavorful sauce, perfect for a summer barbecue.
Peel and mince the garlic and ginger.
Freshly minced garlic and ginger provide the best flavor for the marinade.
In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic, ginger, chili sauce, soy sauce, tomato paste, sugar, and the juice of the lemon.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Clean the shrimp by peeling and deveining them, leaving the tails on.
Leaving the tails on makes the shrimp easier to handle and more visually appealing.
Rinse the scallops and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Drying the scallops helps them sear better on the grill.
Add the shrimp and scallops to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.
Marinate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the seafood.
Thread the shrimp and scallops onto skewers, alternating them.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
Preheat the grill and lightly oil the grates.
A hot grill ensures the seafood cooks quickly and evenly.
Grill the skewers for 4 minutes on each side, basting with the remaining marinade.
Avoid overcooking to keep the seafood tender and juicy.
Serve the skewers hot with your choice of sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
