Grilled Steak and Shrimp

After months of snow, rain, ice, and wind, we finally had a nice day. Everyone in town ran to the store to buy meat to grill. The neighborhood was filled with smoke from all of the barbecue grills being used for the first time since last fall, it’s almost comical. A woman in line at Starbucks said it best “The weather warms up in Iowa and we all get a little bit loopy”.

After being cooped up for so many months, we are so excited to get outside and feel somewhat normal again. If I remember correctly, it snowed again 3 days later! But we managed to sneak in a Grilled Steak  & Shrimp at the end of April, and it makes all the difference in the world! 🙂

Being from California, the weather here in Iowa has been the most difficult change for me to deal with. I am used to living in flip flops, not snow boots! If I want a steak in February, I should not have to go to Texas Roadhouse to get one. I want to be able to go outside, fire up the grill, and enjoy cooking outside, without wearing a parka!

Okay, I’m done…..back to the food. Surf and Turf is my favorite meal to grill. It can be salmon, or shrimp, it doesn’t matter. There is just something about seafood and steak together that seems to work for me. This is the meal that they usually make for me on Mother’s Day, as long as it is not raining or snowing. 😉

How to make Grilled Steak and Shrimp:

Start barbecue and allow to heat up. Add marinade ingredients to a large plastic zipper bag.

Add steaks to the bag, squeeze out all of the air, and allow to marinade for at least 30 minutes on the counter.

Place shrimp onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, you will need to soak them in water for 30 minutes before using.

Drizzle olive oil over shrimp, flip over to coat both sides. Sprinkle with citrus garlic pepper seasoning.

Place steaks onto hot grill. Cook for 6 minutes, flip over and cook for an additional 6 minutes for Medium-Rare. Thermometer should read 120 – 125 degrees. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before cutting/serving. They will continue to cook while they rest.

After you flip your steaks, place the shrimp on the grill. Flip over when they begin to turn pink, and cook until both sides are pink.

I use a clean baking sheet to transport food from the grill back inside.

Serve with barbecue sauce or steak sauce.
