Instructions
Step 1
Once the skewers are soaked (if using bamboo), heat the grill on medium heat and spray the grates with oil.
Step 2
Place salmon chunks and shrimp in a large bowl and spritz with olive oil.
Step 3
Combine all the spices, from paprika to black pepper in a small bowl and mix. Sprinkle over the seafood and gently toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Cut one lemon into wedges, for serving. Slice the other two lemons into very thin rounds.
Step 5
Thread the skewers, alternating between salmon chunks, shrimp, bell pepper pieces, zucchini rounds, and folded lemon slices. Begin and end with seafood.
Step 6
Spray the assembled skewers with more oil so they don't stick to the grill.
Step 7
Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until fish and shrimp are opaque throughout, about 8 to 10 minutes total.
Step 8
Transfer to a platter, top with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
