Shopping List

Exactly what to grab at the store — whole units, no guessing at "half an onion."

  • 1 lb shrimp
  • 1.5 lb sirloin steak
  • 2 cups rice
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 1 onion
  • Garlic butter sauce
  • Bagged garden salad, side
  • Garlic bread, side

How to Make It

  1. Thread steak, shrimp, bell pepper, and onion onto skewers.
  2. Season generously and grill or broil 3–4 minutes per side, until shrimp is pink and steak hits your preferred doneness.
  3. Cook rice while the skewers grill.
  4. Brush skewers with garlic butter sauce right off the heat.
  5. Serve over rice with salad and garlic bread on the side.

No-Time-For-That Tip: Keep steak and shrimp on separate skewers — they cook at different speeds and this way neither one overcooks waiting on the other.
