Preparation:

Step 1: Preheat the Grill

Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. A well-heated grill ensures that both the shrimp and steak cook evenly, achieving that beautiful sear.

Step 2: Prepare the Skewers

Begin by threading your shrimp, steak cubes, red and yellow bell peppers, and red onion onto skewers. Alternate between the shrimp, steak, and vegetables to ensure each skewer has a balanced mix of flavors. This combination guarantees that every bite will be delicious and well-rounded.

Step 3: Season and Oil

Once your skewers are ready, brush them with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides. The olive oil will also help the vegetables and proteins achieve a beautiful char while grilling.

Step 4: Grill the Skewers

Place your skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning them halfway through cooking. The shrimp should turn pink and opaque, while the steak should reach your desired level of doneness. If you prefer medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of around 135°F (57°C).

Step 5: Make the Chimichurri Sauce

While the skewers are grilling, prepare the chimichurri sauce. In a medium bowl, combine chopped parsley, cilantro, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the sauce is well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chimichurri adds a fresh, vibrant contrast to the rich flavors of the grilled meats and shrimp.

Step 6: Serve

Once the skewers are done grilling, remove them from the heat and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle the chimichurri sauce generously over the top of the skewers or serve it on the side for dipping. The bright, tangy sauce complements the smoky, charred flavor of the grilled meat and vegetables beautifully.
