Air Fryer Surf and Turf (Steak and Shrimp Kabobs)
Description
Juicy sirloin and jumbo shrimp in a lime-garlic-cilantro marinade, skewered and air fried at 400°F in 10 minutes. A steakhouse dinner with weeknight effort.
Ingredients
Marinade
- ½ cup olive oil
- 4 limes, juiced
- 3 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, diced
Kabobs
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, salt, and cilantro.
- Add the steak cubes and shrimp, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes.
- Thread the steak and shrimp onto skewers, alternating pieces and leaving a little space between each.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
- Place the skewers in a single layer in the basket. Air fry at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the steak reaches your preferred doneness (130°F medium-rare, 140°F medium). Cook in batches if needed.
- Brush with melted butter, rest for 2–3 minutes, garnish with cilantro and lime, and serve.
Equipment
- Wooden skewers, soaked in cold water for 30 minutes (or metal skewers)
- Instant-read thermometer
Notes
- Don't marinate longer than 30 minutes; the lime juice will make the shrimp mushy.
- For lobster surf and turf, cook lobster tails separately at 380°F for 5–7 minutes.
- Nutrition below does not include the optional butter.
