• Place kabobs on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium heat 5 to 6 minutes, turning once and brushing with marinade once or twice, until shrimp are pink. Discard any remaining marinade.

GRILLED SURF AND TURF SKEWERS

Steps:

• If using wooden skewers, place in water and soak for at least 1 hour prior to grilling so they don't catch fire. I prefer to use reusable metal skewers for the grill
• Defrost shrimp if frozen
• Mince garlic
• Cube sirloin into bite-size cubes
• Add shrimp to one bowl and cubed steak to another
• Toss the shrimp in avocado oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic
• Toss the steak cubes in avocado oil, coconut aminos, and minced garlic
• Cover the two bowls and let marinate in the fridge for about an hour
• Skewer the shrimp and steak on separate skewers
• Heat the grill over medium-high heat
• When the grill is warm, add the skewers to the grill
• Cook the shrimp for 3 minutes each side and remove from grill
• Cook the steak for about 12 minutes total rotating every 3 minutes - keep the grill closed between rotations
• Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes prior to eating!

SURF AND TURF KABOBS

Steps:

• In a gallon bag, combine your steak pieces, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced onion, and minced garlic.
• Zip up bag and shake it, allowing all the flavors to combine. Let steak marinade for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight.
• In a separate resealable bag, add shrimp, melted butter and garlic salt. Zip up the bag, and shake it to allow all the flavors to combine. Let marinade for 2-3 hours, or just as long as you marinade the meat.
• Soak your skewers (if wooden) in water for 20 minutes.
• Thread your steak and shrimp onto skewers.

SURF AND TURF SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Cut the steak and lobster tail meat into 1-inch chunks. Alternating between steak and lobster, skewer the meat onto four 12-inch skewers (about 4 pieces of steak and 3 pieces of lobster on each skewer); set aside.
• To make the spice rub, mix together the salt, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, black pepper and thyme in a small bowl.
• Drizzle or brush the skewers with the olive oil. Lightly sprinkle the skewers with the spice rub.
• Grill the skewers, brushing them with the melted butter and turning about every minute, until the lobster is cooked through and the steak is rare, 4 to 5 minutes total. Allow to rest for 5 to 7 minutes before enjoying.

SURF AND TURF KEBABS

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until melted and foamy. Add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and peaches and cook, stirring, until the sugar is melted and the peaches are starting to soften, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the peach preserves, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, red pepper flakes, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the peaches are completely softened and the mixture is thickened to the consistency of loose jam, 10 to 15 minutes depending on the juiciness of the peaches. Discard the thyme sprigs. If the peaches have not completely broken down, mash them with a potato masher to help them along. Keep warm over low heat.
• Meanwhile, heat a large grill pan over high heat.
• Thread one piece of corn onto a 15-inch metal skewer, followed by a piece of sirloin and then a piece of shrimp; repeat in that order until you have 4 of each item on the skewer. Repeat with the remaining corn, sirloin and shrimp on 3 additional 15-inch metal skewers. Brush the kebabs with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and black pepper.
• Cook the kebabs, turning a few times, until charred all over and the steak and shrimp are cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the kebabs to a platter and brush generously with the peach sauce. Serve with rice, salad and extra peach sauce on the side.
