Equipment

  • Large Ziploc freezer bag
  • Cutting board
  • Spatula
  • Knife
  • Wooden skewers

Ingredients
  

  • 6 tbsp lemon juice
  • 18 Large shrimp
  • ½ tsp Cayenne pepper
  • 18 Scallops
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Garlic finely chopped
  • 6 tsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp dried or 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried or 1 teaspoon fresh chives
  • ¼ tsp Lemon pepper
  • 8 oz bacon diced

Instructions
 

  • Put the shrimp and scallops into a large Ziploc freezer bag.
  • Mix all other ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
  • Pour ¾ of the marinade into the bag with the shrimp and scallops, reserving ¼ for basting.
  • Seal the bag, place it in the refrigerator, and marinate for 15-30 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 1 hour, then remove and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Sprinkle parsley, dill, chives, onion.
  • Drain and discard the marinade from the shrimp and scallops.
  • Thread the shrimp and scallops onto the skewers, alternating between them.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Grill the skewers for 3-5 minutes per side, basting with the reserved marinade.
  • Cook until the shrimp turn pink, the scallops are opaque, and both have nice grill marks.

Notes

  • Ensure the shrimp and scallops are patted dry before marinating to help the marinade adhere better.
  • Avoid over-marinating, as the acid in the marinade can start cooking the seafood.
