Lemon Seafood Kabobs

Keep things simple this summer and head out to the grill with fresh seafood, a lemon, some seasoning, and a bottle of wine. That really is all you need for a delicious meal.

These grilled shrimp and scallop kabobs are the perfect summer grilling dish and are so quick and easy to prepare. They can be served as an entree or, like in this instance, served alongside small bites and deliciously paired with wine.

Summer and grilling go hand in hand and it if you’re like me, you’ll be grilling a lot of yummy food in the upcoming months. When I’m grilling, I also like to enjoy a good bottle of wine along with different small bites is my favorite way to eat and entertain. Today, I’m bringing you a superb (and easy) grilled seafood dish that is perfect for the season.

The Latin flavors of the Badia sazón complete seasoning is perfectly light for any seafood and even more perfect for grilling with added flavor from fresh lemon which complements the seafood. Good wine pairings for today’s dish include a fruity red blend with notes of plums, cherries and raspberries, or a fresh, fruity sauvignon blanc. Both are excellent to sip with these seafood kabobs. I like to finish the kabobs grilled lemon. Grilling makes lemons juicier and sweeter and seafood is always delicious with a sprinkling of fresh lemon juice.
