Steps:
- Whisk oil and spices in a large bowl until blended.
- Add shrimp and scallops and toss gently to coat.
- Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours to let seafood absorb marinade flavors.
- 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.
- Serve the skewers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as lemon-herb butter, garlic aioli, or tzatziki sauce.
