Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the marinade – olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper.
-
Place the shrimp, scallops, and swordfish (or tuna) in a large resealable plastic bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the seafood, making sure it's evenly coated. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
-
Assemble your kabobs by alternating the marinated seafood with bell peppers, onion wedges, cherry tomatoes, and lemon slices onto the soaked wooden skewers. Be sure to leave a little space between each item for even cooking.
-
Brush the assembled kabobs with any remaining marinade for an extra burst of flavor.
-
Place the kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the seafood is opaque and cooked through.
-
Once done, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
-
Serve your beautifully grilled seafood kabobs hot off the grill, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or dill, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an added zing.
