Instructions

Marinate the Steak: In a large bowl, combine the cubed sirloin steak with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the steak is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
Prepare the Shrimp: In a separate bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, salt, and pepper, ensuring each shrimp is well coated. Set aside until ready to thread.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook gently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the chopped parsley, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to balance the flavors.
Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated steak and shrimp alternatively onto skewers. To prevent wooden skewers from burning, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before use.
Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers onto the grill and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, ensuring the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and generously drizzle the warm garlic butter sauce over the top before serving to add a rich, aromatic finish to the dish.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent them from burning.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
Ensure shrimp are peeled and deveined for optimal taste and texture.
Adjust steak cooking time based on thickness and preferred doneness.
Use fresh parsley for best flavor in the garlic butter sauce.
