Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Grilled Seafood Skewers
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of olive oil, the juice of one fresh lemon, three minced garlic cloves, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Place 1 pound of shrimp, 1 pound of scallops, and 1 pound of firm white fish into a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the seafood, ensuring everything is well-coated.
  3. Wash and cut 2 bell peppers and 1 zucchini into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Thread the marinated seafood and prepped vegetable pieces onto wooden or metal skewers, alternating between each item.
  5. Preheat the grill to medium-high, around 400°F (200°C). Clean and lightly oil the grill grates.
  6. Place the assembled seafood skewers on the grill, cooking for about 10 minutes. Turn halfway through to achieve even char.
  7. Remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a minute before serving.
