Instructions
Soak skewer sticks in water before using them to avoid them burning while grilling.
Prepare the beef skewers by combining the soy sauce, honey, toasted sesame oil, green onions, garlic, ginger, and orange juice in a large zip-lock bag.
Add steak chunks to the marinade and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-24 hours before grilling.
Skewer the beef chunks on wooden skewers right before grilling.
Prepare the shrimp skewers by combining the olive oil, lemon zest, garlic, basil, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper in a large zip-lock bag.
Marinate for 2-5 hours. Side Note: Do not use lemon juice in the marinade, as it will cook the shrimp.
Skewer the beef chunks on wooden skewers right before grilling.
Prepare the vegetable skewers by skewering each vegetable on a wooden skewer.
Grilling:
Grill the veggies for 10-12 minutes on each side. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper once grilled.
Grill the beef for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until your desired doneness.
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until pink. Don't overcook.
