🥩 A sizzling restaurant-quality surf and turf dinner made at home with juicy steak and sweet shrimp skewers, finished with a fresh, garlicky chimichurri sauce.
🌿 Everything cooks fast on the grill and the bright herb sauce cuts through the richness for a perfectly balanced plate.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 pound steak (ribeye for richness, sirloin for a leaner bite), cut into 1.5-inch cubes

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off, your call)

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the grill

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (regular sweet paprika works too)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Wood or metal skewers (soak wood skewers in water for 20 minutes if using)

1 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (or just more parsley)

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (or lemon juice)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1-Make the chimichurri: Stir together parsley, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt; adjust seasoning and set aside to bloom.

2-Prep the proteins: Pat steak cubes and shrimp completely dry with paper towels, then place steak in one bowl and shrimp in another.

3-Season the proteins: Toss steak with half the olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder; toss shrimp with the remaining oil and seasonings separately.

4-Skewer: Thread steak onto one set of skewers and shrimp onto separate skewers for better cooking control.

5-Preheat the grill: Set up a two-zone fire (medium-high direct heat side and cooler indirect side) on a charcoal or gas grill, then oil the grates.

6-Grill the steak: Place steak skewers on the hot side and cook 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare (130–135°F internal); move to cooler side if needed to avoid over-charring.

7-Grill the shrimp: Sear shrimp skewers on the hot side for 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque; remove immediately to prevent rubberiness.

8-Rest and serve: Let steak rest for 5 minutes, then drizzle chimichurri generously over the kebabs and reserve extra sauce for dipping.

Notes

🔥 Pat the steak and shrimp completely dry before seasoning — any surface moisture sabotages your sear and creates steam instead of a crust.
🍢 Use separate skewers for steak and shrimp so you can pull the seafood the moment it is done while the beef gets those extra minutes on the grill.
⏱️ Let the steak rest for a full 5 minutes after grilling; the juices settle and carryover heat finishes the cook to a perfect medium-rare.
