Ingredients

  • Scallops: The scallops used in this dish are typically large sea scallops, which are known for their delicate, sweet flavor and firm texture. These are often seasoned with a blend of spices and grilled to maintain their natural sweetness and tenderness. The cooking process gives them a slightly caramelized exterior while keeping the inside moist and flavorful.
  • Shrimp: The shrimp are usually large, sweet shrimp that are seasoned lightly with garlic, lemon, and sometimes a hint of spice. They are often grilled or sautéed, resulting in tender, juicy shrimp that complement the scallops perfectly.
  • Seasonings: The shrimp and scallops are generally seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, lemon, and other herbs such as parsley or thyme. The natural sweetness of the seafood is enhanced by the use of these simple seasonings. If a sauce is included, it may be a lemon butter sauce, garlic herb butter, or a more delicate, lighter sauce to complement the seafood.
  • Olive Oil or Butter: Both the shrimp and scallops are typically brushed with olive oil or butter before grilling to help with the cooking process and to enhance the flavor.

Allergens

  • Fish: While the dish is primarily focused on shrimp and scallops, there may be traces of other fish or seafood used in the kitchen, so cross-contamination can occur.
  • Dairy: If the dish is served with a butter sauce (such as lemon butter or garlic herb butter), it contains dairy and is unsuitable for those with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance.
  • Gluten: The shrimp and scallops themselves are naturally gluten-free. However, if any sauces or seasonings contain gluten, it is important to check with your server to ensure the dish is prepared gluten-free.
  • Egg: Some sauces or marinades may contain egg as a binding agent, so if you have an egg allergy, you should ask your server for more details.

Recommendations

  • For a lighter option: To keep the dish lighter, you can request that the shrimp and scallops be grilled with minimal butter or oil. Opt for a lemon vinaigrette or garlic herb sauce on the side, or simply enjoy them with a squeeze of fresh lemon for added flavor. Pair with lighter sides like steamed vegetables or a house salad.
  • For a richer, indulgent meal: For a richer experience, enjoy the lemon butter sauce or garlic herb butter with the seafood. Pair it with heartier sides such as garlic mashed potatoes, crispy Brussels sprouts, or seasoned rice to complement the savory flavors of the dish.
  • Wine Pairing: A Chardonnay works wonderfully with the shrimp and scallops, as its smooth, buttery texture pairs well with the seafood, especially if you opt for the lemon butter sauce. For a crisper alternative, a Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc would complement the light, fresh flavors of the seafood and provide a refreshing balance.
  • For a gluten-free option: The shrimp and scallops are naturally gluten-free, but you should inquire about the sauce and ensure that it is gluten-free. Many restaurants offer gluten-free sauce options or can prepare the dish without certain ingredients.
  • For heart-healthy benefits: If you’re looking for a heart-healthier version of the dish, request the seafood to be grilled with minimal butter or oil, and avoid any rich sauces. Pair it with a side of steamed vegetables, broccoli, or a side salad to keep the meal nutritious and lower in fat.

The Scallops & Shrimp Skewer at Bonefish Grill is an excellent choice for seafood enthusiasts. Whether you prefer a light and refreshing dish or one with rich, buttery flavors, the combination of shrimp and scallops offers a satisfying, flavorful meal. You can customize the dish by adjusting the sauces and sides, ensuring that it meets your taste preferences and dietary needs.
