🧄 Citrus Shrimp & Scallop Skewers

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb shrimp (peeled & deveined)
  • 1 lb sea scallops
  • 10-inch bamboo skewers
  • Panko bread crumbs
  • 2 lemons (juiced)
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • Fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 2 tsp chopped garlic
  • Whiskey Bent BBQ The Grove citrus rub
  • Beef tallow spray

Instructions:

1. Prep the Skewers

  • Soak bamboo skewers in cold water for 10 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Skewer the seafood, alternating shrimp and scallops. Leave a few inches at the bottom for handling.

2. Season & Bread

  • Spray each skewer with beef tallow, coating the seafood lightly.
  • Pour panko onto a plate and season with The Grove rub.
  • Season each shrimp and scallop individually with more Grove, then sprinkle with the panko mixture for a light, crispy coating.

3. Grill Time

  • Preheat grill to 350°F.
  • Place skewers directly on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until shrimp turn pink and scallops are firm.

4. Lemon Butter Sauce

  • While the skewers grill, melt one stick of butter in a small pan and stir in the chopped garlic.
  • Once melted, remove from heat and mix in the juice of two lemons and chopped parsley.

5. Finish & Serve

  • Once off the grill, brush the skewers generously with the lemon butter sauce.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite rice and grilled vegetables for a complete summer plate.
