Easy Grilled Steak And Shrimp Kabobs
Bring together the best of land and sea with these simple grilled steak and shrimp kabobs. This recipe lets you enjoy two favorite proteins on one skewer, making dinner fun and flavorful.
Key Ingredients & Tips for Grilling
- Marinate Well: Giving your steak time in a marinade adds so much flavor and helps keep it tender on the grill. Even 30 minutes makes a difference.
- Don’t Overcook Shrimp: Shrimp cooks fast. Keep a close eye on it to prevent it from getting rubbery. They are done when pink and opaque.
What You Need for Steak and Shrimp Kabobs
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces

- Your favorite steak marinade
⏱️ Time: 30 mins prep, 15 mins cook🍽️ Yields: 4 servings
How to Make It
Step 1: Prep and Marinate Your Ingredients
Place the steak cubes in a bowl and pour your marinade over them. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes, or even up to 4 hours in the fridge. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before assembling to prevent burning on the grill.
Step 2: Assemble and Grill the Kabobs
Thread the marinated steak, shrimp, and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating them. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kabobs for about 8-12 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the steak is cooked to your liking and the shrimp are pink and opaque.
📝 Final Note
For best results, remove shrimp from heat as soon as they are cooked through. You can even remove them from the skewer and let the steak cook a little longer if needed.
