I have spent the last week digging through my freezer and pantry finding dinner ideas that don’t require me to have to run to the grocery store. I found 2 bags of frozen shrimp and scallops in the back of my freezer and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. These grilled shrimp and scallops are sooo easy! I just sprinkled some cajun seasoning on them and skewered them. I grilled them on the charcoal grill basting in butter as they cooked up. I paired them with the perfect filet mignon for a super easy surf n turf style dinner! Give these a try today! They are D to the LISH with some fresh lemon squeezed on top!
