3.9 from 87 reviews

Savor the perfect balance of land and sea with these flavorful Surf and Turf Kabobs. Juicy sirloin and succulent shrimp are marinated in ghee, garlic, and lemon, then grilled to perfection for a quick and satisfying meal ideal for summer cookouts or weeknight dinners.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Protein

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 pounds sirloin

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup ghee
  • 1 tablespoon super garlic (or flake garlic mixed with sea salt)
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Instructions

  1. Marinate the proteins: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with sirloin pieces. Drizzle the ghee, sprinkle the super garlic or garlic-salt mixture, and pour the freshly squeezed lemon juice over the selection. Toss everything together thoroughly to coat all pieces, then let the mixture rest for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Skewer the kabobs: Thread the marinated shrimp and sirloin pieces alternately onto skewers, ensuring an even distribution for balanced grilling and visual appeal.
  3. Grill the kabobs: Heat your grill to medium-high. Place the skewers on the grill and cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Grill the beef for 4 to 5 minutes per side, aiming for a nice sear and cooked to your desired doneness.
  4. Serve and enjoy: Remove the kabobs from the grill, serve immediately with extra melted ghee brushed on top for enhanced richness, and enjoy your delicious surf and turf meal.

Notes

  • To prevent shrimp from overcooking, keep a close watch on grilling time since they cook faster than beef.
  • Using ghee enhances the smokiness and adds a rich buttery flavor that complements both protein types.
  • For easier grilling, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use.
  • You can substitute sirloin with other tender cuts of beef like ribeye or tenderloin if preferred.
  • This recipe can be adapted for indoor grilling with a grill pan or broiler if outdoor grilling isn’t available.
