  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary minced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 large red onion cut in 1¼ inch pieces
  • 16 orange or red grape tomatoes

(SURF) Shrimp

  • 18 Marina Del Rey Wild Caught Colossal Shrimp peeled, tail on (8/12 size)
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 garlic cloves minced

Instructions
 

Steak

  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, Dijon, honey rosemary and pepper. Add the cubed sirloin to a resealable bag and cover with marinade. Seal bag and let marinate for 30 – 60 minutes in the fridge.

Shrimp

  • While the steak is marinating, start preparing the shrimp. Pat shrimp dry and place in a resealable bag.
  • Combine all other ingredients in a bowl and pour over shrimp.
  • Seal bag and marinate for 15 minutes in the fridge.

Skewer the Steak and Shrimp

  • Evenly divide the meal and veggiesfor 8 skewers. Prepare steak skewers beginning with a tomato, alternating meat,with pieces of bell peppers and red onion, then finishing with a tomato.
  • Preheat grill to med-high heat.
  • Divide the shrimp to fit on 4-6 skewers, then skewer the shrimp.

Time to Grill

  • Grill steak skewers over medium-high heat, turning every 2-3 minutes, until all sides of the meat are slightly charred, and vegetables are tender. (About 8 to 12 minutes)
  • Cover the steak skewers with foil and let rest.
  • While the steak is resting, place the shrimp on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side. The shrimp are cooked when the thickest part hasjust turned slightly white/opaque, and the exterior has a slight pinkish colour.

Surf and Turf Plating

  • Create a surf and turf platter with grilled tortillas, spicy guacamole, tomatoes, avocados, sliced jalapenos, grilled corn salad, salsa, lime wedges, fresh chopped cilantro, hot sauce and/or any other of your favourite fixings.
    Either skewer is also wonderful on their own served with rice or potatoes, grilled veggies, or your favourite fresh salad.
  • Skewers can be removed from the steak and shrimp at this point if you would like.
