Surf & Turf Skewers
1 pound largest shrimp available, peeled and deveined
1 beef filet, cut into 1-1½ inch pieces
trumpet mushrooms, woody ends removed, cut in quarters
skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
garlic-parsley butter (recipe below)
extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt and pepper, to taste
sea salt, to taste
Soak your skewers for at least 30 minutes before using. Skewer the shrimp, filet and mushroom pieces. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the skewers with a little extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the shrimp are cooked through and the filet is cooked to your desired doneness. While the skewers cook, brush them with the garlic-parsley butter. Before serving drizzle with a little olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt.

2-3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup Italian parsley leaves, finely chopped
zest from 1 lemon
