Get ready to dive into incredible grilled flavors! In this video, we’ll show you how to whip up spicy grilled shrimp and scallops with an irresistible marinade recipe. This super quick and easy dish takes less than 5 minutes from prep to plate! It’s simple, it’s spicy, and easily one of my favorite seafood recipes for its taste and ease.

Pro tip: opt for larger shrimp and remove the tails before marinating. For the best bang for your buck, go for frozen! And don’t forget the pepper tip: mix Szechuan and Telecherry peppercorns in your grinder for that extra kick.

Here’s the seafood marinade you need:
2 Tablespoons EV Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon hot sauce or sriracha
1 Teaspoon each of: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Paprika, and Herbs de Provence.
Let it marinate for 1-4 hours, then skewer, making sure to leave space between the shrimp.
Cook on high, flipping every 60-90 seconds. The shrimp will be ready in just 3-4 minutes, and the same goes for the scallops. Eat while hot and enjoy!!

On today’s menu, grilled spicy shrimp and scallop. So, starting off, we’re going to make our marinade. Extra virgin olive oil, hot sauce or Sriracha, paprika, salt, garlic powder, herbs of provenance, which is my go-to herb mixture, and pepper. My quick tip with pepper is I use both suan peppercorns and telerry peppercorns in my grinder. There’s a lot of added flavor you wouldn’t get from just one. Now, real quick, we’ll chat about seafood. Since this is a shrimp recipe, I will be making some scallops, too, but they’ll be kind of the side note here. Buy your seafood frozen. They’re frozen directly on the boats where they’re caught. So, the things the the fresh that you’re buying in the seafood section of the market is just been caught, frozen, and then thought. So, I’ve been after I switched to frozen, I’ve never gone back. It’s also significantly cheaper. You can see these are 16 to 20 shrimp per pound, which they’re pretty big ones. This was insanely cheap. I think it was only $16 for two pounds. So, normally it’s not that inexpensive, but the price is significantly better. Um, scallops, you’ll see in a bit, they’re normally $30, $40 a pound here now. And the bag I bought, their small ones, they’re 15 bucks for a pound. So, I’m always looking for a less expensive way to do everything in my life. Sometimes you get lucky and you find a cheaper way is actually the higher quality way as well. Um, which yeah, with with seafood is definitely true. So, these are shell on, but the shells split. They’re already de veained. So, I mentioned these were frozen, so we thawled them out overnight. Just put a little plastic wrap on top of the bowl. If you were in a rush, you could let some cold running water go on top of these and have them ready in a couple hours. Um, so that’s a second method. Doesn’t work as well, but it is does work. That’s pretty much that. Next step, we’re going to start mixing these around and we’re just going to let them sit in the marinade for a couple hours in the fridge. Um, when I skewer, I try to, especially with these big shrimp, I try to go kind of, you can see I got two parts there essentially. Probably way too much just for me, but that’s okay. See, like that. We don’t want that. That’s way too close to the edge, at least for my taste. So, I’m going to move that on. I’m just taking off. This is the abductor muscle. You don’t want that on there. It’ll be chewy and gross. Should pop right off. I wasn’t planning on doing this, but I’m going to throw the scallops in with what’s left of the shrimp sauce, marinade, what have you. You do want to carefully skewer the scallops right in the center, otherwise they have a tendency to fall off. You don’t want that. This is for the scallop. So, a quick note here. We only need like two minutes to cook everything. The scallops also are on a grate so they don’t stick to the grill and completely ruin. And I have learned that the hard way in the past. Ooh, look at that. Make sure you’re wearing glove. We’ll be very hot. What’s up? Just start to rain, of course, as soon as these are on. But we got like 30 seconds and we’re done. Hear the birds, the blades. I’d rather have these a little underdone than overdone. So my little get on quick dance. Nice little scallop. That is so freaking crazy good. Come out another absolute perfection with shrimp. M. So super easy. Grilled shrimp and scallops. You could mix up the flavors. You could just do salt. You could just salt and pepper. Whatever you really want. Just get grill super hot. Make sure you don’t cook them too long. That’s it. Hope you enjoyed. Had a lot of fun. And go inside. Get out of this rain. We’ll see you next time.

  1. 🎓 Shrimp Skewer 101: Why These Hit Harder Than Your Average BBQ

    ✅ Quick-cooking protein: Shrimp are lean and delicate, so high heat + short cook time = juicy perfection. Overcook 'em and they go from rockstar to rubber band real fast.

    ✅ Flavor absorption: Their porous texture makes them ideal for marinades

    ✅ Maillard reaction: That char on the grill? It’s not just pretty — it’s science. Browning = flavor explosion.

    🌶 Spice tip: Capsaicin (the compound that brings the heat) binds to fat, so pairing spicy shrimp with a creamy dip or avocado balances the burn.
