How to make Surf N Turf Skewers

If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.

While the skewers soak, trim and cut the steak into 8–12 evenly sized cubes.

Brush or spray the kabobs with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Place the skewers on the grill and turn them every few minutes to cook evenly. Cook until the meat and shrimp reach your preferred doneness—about 8 minutes total worked well for me.

Meanwhile, make the garlic butter: melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.

Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
