A delightful seafood dish combining shrimp and scallops marinated in a citrus herb blend, perfect for grilling.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, juice of the limes, brown sugar, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro to create the marinade.
For a more intense flavor, prepare the marinade a few hours in advance and let it sit to blend the flavors.
Place the shrimp and scallops in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Ensure the seafood is evenly coated with the marinade for consistent flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the shrimp and scallops onto the skewers, alternating them for a visually appealing presentation.
Leave a small gap between each piece on the skewer to ensure even cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the seafood is opaque and cooked through.
Brush the skewers with any remaining marinade during grilling for added flavor.
Serve the skewers hot with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables. Enjoy your delicious meal!
Garnish with additional chopped cilantro or a wedge of lime for a fresh touch.
