Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the marinade – olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  2. 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.

  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 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.

  5. Brush the assembled kabobs with any remaining marinade for an extra burst of flavor.

  6. 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.

  7. Once done, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

  8. 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.
