Start your grilling journey with Lisa's flavorful marinade for shrimp skewers. This marinade combines extra virgin oil, minced garlic, lime zest, smoked paprika, ground ginger, cumin, salt, and a hint of cayenne pepper for a perfect balance of savory and spicy notes. The ingredients work together to infuse the shrimp with rich, vibrant flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. Marinate the shrimp for just 30 minutes to ensure every bite is bursting with taste.

Preparing the shrimp skewers is a breeze with Lisa's detailed instructions. After marinating, pat the shrimp dry and thread them tightly onto metal skewers, alternating the direction of the heads and tails. Sprinkle one side with a touch of sugar to enhance the caramelization on the grill. Grill the shrimp until they are charred on the first side, then flip and cook until opaque. Finish by seasoning with fresh cilantro and serving with lime wedges for a zesty touch.

For a sophisticated twist, try Lisa's grilled scallops and zucchini with basil vinaigrette. This recipe features large sea scallops paired with perfectly grilled zucchini slices, all drizzled with a fresh and tangy basil vinaigrette. The combination of flavors creates a harmonious dish that's both elegant and satisfying. The basil vinaigrette, made with fresh basil, chives, white wine vinegar, and garlic, adds a vibrant pop to the tender scallops and smoky zucchini.

Lisa's versatile marinade is not limited to shrimp alone. You can easily adapt it to enhance the flavors of scallops, salmon, or any firm, meaty fish like swordfish. This flexibility allows you to experiment with different proteins and create a variety of delicious grilled dishes. Additionally, adjusting the level of cayenne pepper can tailor the marinade to your preferred heat level, making it suitable for everyone at the table.
