Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, 3 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 12 large peeled and deveined raw shrimp and 8 oz lobster tail meat cut into 1-inch pieces to the marinade. Toss gently to coat and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

  4. Step 4: Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, turning carefully until the shrimp are opaque and lobster meat is firm and slightly charred at the edges.
  5. Step 5: Remove skewers from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving with extra lime wedges if desired.
