Steak And Shrimp Kabobs In Air Fryer Recipe
Tender steak and juicy shrimp are marinated in a flavorful mix of garlic, lemon, and spices, then air-fried to perfection. This easy-to-make dish is a crowd-pleaser, ideal for quick dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak cut into cubes
- 12 –16 large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15–20 minutes to prevent burning. Peel and devein the shrimp.
- Whip Up the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the steak and shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes.
- Build the Kabobs: Thread the marinated steak and shrimp onto the skewers, alternating between the two. Leave a little space between pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry to Perfection: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Arrange the skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. The steak should reach your desired doneness, and the shrimp should turn pink and opaque.
- Plate and Serve: Remove the kabobs from the air fryer and transfer them to a platter. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Marinate the steak and shrimp up to 24 hours in advance for deeper flavor. Assemble the kabobs just before cooking.
- Try a soy-infused marinade by adding soy sauce for extra umami.
- Add cayenne pepper or chili flakes for extra heat.
- Swap lemon juice for lime for a citrus twist.
