1

Prep the seafood and marinate

Start by choosing your favorite seafood for skewering. Thread shrimps, scallops, and chunks of firm fish onto wooden or metal skewers. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour the marinade over the skewered seafood, making sure they're well-coated. Allow the flavors to mingle by refrigerating for at least 30 minutes.

2

Preheat the grill

Fire up the grill to medium-high heat. This will give your seafood a delicious char and smoky flavor.

3

Grill the skewers

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the seafood is opaque and lightly charred. Be careful not to overcook, as seafood can become tough if left on the grill for too long.

4

Serve and enjoy

Carefully remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with chopped herbs, like parsley or cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy the burst of flavors!
