Ingredients for Barbecued Shrimp And Chicken

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Butter
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Boneless Chicken Breast

How to Make Barbecued Shrimp And Chicken

  1. Peel and devein 1 pound of shrimp. Cut 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 teaspoons onion powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/2 cup melted butter.
  3. Add the shrimp and chicken to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
  4. Thread shrimp onto separate skewers. Thread chicken onto separate skewers.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill skewers about 5 inches above the hot coals. Cook shrimp for 5-7 minutes, turning once, basting frequently with remaining marinade. Cook chicken for 10-12 minutes, turning once or twice, basting frequently with remaining marinade. Internal temperature of chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
