Time 3h6m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 lb medium shrimp, peeled,deveined,tails left on
1 lb large scallop, rinsed,tough muscle at sides removed
6 skewers, 10 to 12 inch (if bamboo soak in water minimum 1 hour)

Steps:

  • Thread shrimp and scallops on seperate skewers.
  • Oil grill rack and place it 4 to 6 inches above hot coals.
  • Grill skewers 2 to 3 minutes per side until seafood is lightly browned and just barely opaque in the center.

Tips:

  • To ensure the best flavor and texture, use fresh shrimp and scallops.
  • If wooden skewers are used, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
  • To prevent the skewers from sticking to the grill, lightly grease the grates with cooking oil before grilling.
  • Cook the skewers over medium-high heat, turning them frequently to ensure even cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the shrimp and scallops. The shrimp should reach an internal temperature of 120°F (49°C) and the scallops should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
