Yes please! Let's just say you will need to double this one. David and I ate it all. The shrimp are so tender and sweet. The steak comes out a perfect medium rare.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

Fifteen minute dinner: Who doesn't love a dinner that can be on the table in 15 minutes? Especially during the work week when things can be so hectic.

Grilling: Being able to toss these skewers loaded with protein on the grill is great. Knowing your family will not only love them but they are getting a healthy dose of protein. The skewers also provide healthy fats from the delicious sauce.

Ingredients You Will Need

Shrimp: Shrimp are a crustacean that is very nutritious and fairly low in calories. They provide a high amount of protein and healthy fats. They also provide vitamins and minerals. Shrimp have a sweet and succulent mild flavor.

Sirloin Steak Tips: are usually grilled and seared off and meant to served medium rare like most steaks. They are a better cut of steak which I prefer so it comes out nice and tender.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil stands out as an excellent choice for sautéing. It adds richness and enhances the natural flavors of foods with its versatility.

Salt and Pepper: The flavor of a dish is enhanced by salt. It elevates various flavor profiles. Ground black pepper adds a gentle heat.

Ghee: Incorporating ghee into this sauce adds a rich, nutty flavor. Ghee is clarified, meaning impurities have been removed. This results in a pure and clear form of butterfat with lower lactose content than butter. This ghee is my favorite. You can use PennysPrimal15 for a discount!

Garlic: Fresh is best for obtaining a little stronger touch of garlic flavor. This is different than the sweeter touch you would obtain from powder.

Lemon Juice: Lemon juice adds a fresh, bright, and tangy element. This can help balance the richness of the other ingredients.

Basil: Opt for fresh basil over dried for this recipe. The freshness complements the other bright flavors in this sauce and adds a nice aroma.

Flat Leaf Parsley: Parsley brings a burst of fresh, herby goodness to sauces. It gives them a nice lift and adds a bit of vibrant flavor.

Oregano: Fresh oregano has a spicy and pungent flavor similar to marjoram but not as sweet. It is considered a very bold herb and using it will make a dramatic impact in any recipe.

Instructions

Melt ghee: In a small pan melt the ghee.

Add garlic: Add your minced garlic and stir one minute & remove from heat.

Add remaining Garlic & Herb Ghee ingredients: Add remaining sauce ingredients stirring well. Set aside.

In another bowl: In a separate bowl, add shrimp, steak, olive oil, salt and pepper, mixing well.

Skewer shrimp and steak: Skewer shrimp & steak. If using wood skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes first so they do not burn on the grill.

Cook on preheated grill: Once the grill is heated, add the skewers. Turn them every 2 minutes for a total of 6-8 minutes depending on how you like your steak. (6 minutes should result in medium rare steak)

Move to a plate: Place the skewers on large plate and brush generously with sauce.

Save that extra sauce: The extra sauce is wonderful for dipping!

Enjoy!
