Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 2 tbsp lime juice until well combined to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 12 large peeled and deveined shrimp, 8 sea scallops, and 2 firm white fish fillets (6 oz each) cut into large chunks to the marinade. Toss gently to coat all seafood evenly and marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Step 3: Preheat a wood-fired grill or outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F). Lightly brush the grill grates with 2 tbsp vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Step 4: Thread the shrimp, scallops, and fish chunks onto soaked wooden skewers, sprinkling 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper over the seafood before grilling.
  5. Step 5: Grill the seafood skewers for 3-4 minutes per side until they develop a smoky char and are opaque and firm to touch, turning once.
  6. Step 6: Remove skewers from grill and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro over the seafood. Serve immediately with lime wedges if desired.
