Ingredients
Scale

- 2 boneless ribeye steaks (about 1 lb each)
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetables
- 2 bell peppers, cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 1 lemon, sliced into wedges
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Seasonings & Oils
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to get it ready for kabob cooking.
- Prepare Steak: Trim excess fat from the ribeye steaks and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even grilling.
- Make Seasoning Mix: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, black pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes to create the seasoning blend.
- Season Steak: Add the steak cubes to the seasoning mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure even coating.
- Prepare Shrimp: Peel and devein the shrimp if not already done, preparing them for seasoning.
- Season Shrimp: Add the shrimp gently to the bowl with the seasoning mixture and toss carefully to coat without damaging the shrimp.
- Prepare Vegetables: Cut bell peppers and red onion into chunks, and slice zucchini into rounds to assemble the kabobs.
- Assemble Kabobs: Alternate threading the steak cubes, shrimp, bell peppers, onion, and zucchini onto metal or soaked wooden skewers.
- Soak Wooden Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes before assembling to prevent burning on the grill.
- Grill Kabobs: Place the assembled kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, turning to ensure even cooking and desired steak doneness.
- Rest Kabobs: Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Prepare Lemon: Cut the lemon into wedges while the kabobs rest.
- Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze lemon wedges over the kabobs to add a fresh citrus burst.
- Garnish Kabobs: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the kabobs for color and flavor enhancement.
- Serve: Serve the grilled steak and shrimp kabobs hot and enjoy your flavorful meal!
Notes
- Soaking wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill.
- You can customize vegetables based on preference or seasonal availability.
- Adjust grilling time depending on the desired level of steak doneness.
- Use metal skewers if you prefer to skip the soaking step.
- Letting the kabobs rest after grilling results in juicier meat and shrimp.
