Delicious! And so easy too! We served this with Summer Fruit Salad for an easy summer meal. Next time I think I'll add some veggies to the skewers but the recipe is perfect as is. Thanks for sharing!

What a wonderful punch to simple seafood. For dietary reasons, I did cut back on the oil to one tbsp and then tossed the seafood to coat. I then mixed the seasonings together and used them more or less like a rub and let the shrimp & scallops marinate as instucted. Simple and sublime. Thank you Michelle S. for sharing the recipe.

I'm so excited for how great this turned out. The mix of all those spices gave the seafood such a wonderful smokey flavor with just the slightest bit of heat. I don't have an outdoor grill, but this was the FIRST dish I cooked on my new stovetop grill pan! It came out just perfect!
