Skewers always hit—but these Surf and Turf Sticks by Uncle Dibbz take it to another level. Juicy diced skirt steak, tender shrimp, and colorful bell peppers are stacked together, roasted or grilled, then finished with a garlicky butter sauce that ties everything together.
This is that perfect blend of beefy richness, sweet heat from the shrimp, and smoky char on the outside. They’re quick to make, fun to eat, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for cookouts, weeknight meals, or game day bites.
Ingredients
- 1 lb skirt steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cajun seasoning or seasoning of choice (for rub)
- Garlic butter (for finishing)
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
- Cut skirt steak into 1-inch pieces.
- Season both steak and shrimp with salt, pepper, and your favorite Cajun seasoning or all-purpose rub.
- Chop red and green bell peppers into chunky, skewer-friendly pieces.
Step 2: Assemble the Skewers
- Thread shrimp, steak, and bell peppers onto skewers in an alternating pattern.
- Make sure each skewer has a balanced mix of surf (shrimp), turf (steak), and veggie.
Step 3: Cook the Skewers
- Preheat oven or grill to 375°F.
- Cook skewers for 10 minutes on each side, flipping halfway through until shrimp is opaque and steak is cooked through but tender.
Step 4: Finish with Garlic Butter
- While skewers cook, melt garlic butter in a small saucepan or microwave.
- Once skewers are done, drizzle or brush garlic butter generously over the top.
- Serve hot, with extra butter for dipping if desired.
Pro Tips and Serving Suggestions
