Fire Up Your Adventure: The Ultimate Steak & Shrimp Kabobs Recipe

Perfect for your next RV getaway with Waylon or Willie

Grilled steak and shrimp kabobs perfectly seasoned and garnished, ready to be enjoyed.

There's something magical about cooking over an open flame while surrounded by nature's beauty. Whether you're parked at the scenic shores of Lake Seminole, nestled among the ancient oaks at Kolomoki Mounds State Park, or enjoying the pastoral views at White Oak Pastures, nothing beats the sizzle of perfectly seasoned kabobs cooking over a crackling fire.

At Campfire Adventures RV Rentals, we believe that great food brings people together, and these mouthwatering steak and shrimp kabobs have become a favorite among our guests. We have perfected this recipe through countless camping trips, and we're excited to share it with you!

Why This Recipe is Perfect for RV Life

When you're staying in Waylon or Willie, you have everything you need to create this impressive meal. Both of our travel trailers come equipped with outdoor kitchens, making it easy to prep your ingredients inside while keeping the cooking action outside where the fun happens. Plus, with our Blackstone Griddle enhancement (available for rent), you can achieve that perfect sear even if open flames aren't allowed at your campsite.

Ingredients (Serves 6-8 hungry campers)

For the Kabobs:

• 2 lbs. ribeye steak, cut into 1.5-inch cubes

• 1.5 lbs. large shrimp, peeled and deveined (16-20 count works best)

• 8-10 wooden or metal skewers

For the Marinade:

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 1/4 cup soy sauce

• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar

• 1/4 cup cooking sherry

• 1/4 cup lemon juice

• 1/4 cup honey (we like to use locally harvested honey from Bill's Bees of Georgia)

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

• 1/2 tsp. ground ginger

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Marinade

In a large mixing bowl (we provide one in both Waylon and Willie!), whisk together all marinade ingredients until well combined. The honey might be stubborn at first, but keep whisking – it'll come together beautifully.

Step 2: Marinate the Steak & Shrimp

Place the steak cubes and the shrimp in a 1 gallon Ziplock bag. Pour marinade over the steak and shrimp. Refrigerate and let the marinade do its work for 2 to 4 hours.

Pro Tip: Use the spacious refrigerator in your rental to keep everything properly chilled. Both Waylon and Willie have refrigerator/freezer units!

Step 3: Assemble Your Kabobs

This is where the fun begins! Thread your ingredients onto skewers, alternating between steak and shrimp. Leave small spaces between pieces for even cooking. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 6: Fire Up the Grill

Whether you're using the campground's fire ring, or the campsite grill, make sure you have medium-high heat. If you're using our Blackstone Griddle, preheat it to about 400°F.

Step 7: Cook to Perfection

Grill kabobs for 8-12 minutes total, turning every 2-3 minutes. The steak should reach your desired doneness (we recommend medium for the best texture), and the shrimp should be pink and slightly curled.

Temperature Guide:

• Medium-rare steak: 130-135°F

• Medium steak: 135-145°F

• Shrimp: 145°F (they should be opaque throughout)

Serving Suggestions to Go With the Steak & Shrimp Kabobs

Serve these beautiful kabobs on a platter. They pair wonderfully with:

• Grilled corn on the cob

• A fresh garden salad

• Campfire-roasted potatoes

• Grilled zucchini

• Cheese Grits (our son, Cullen's preferred side)

• Grilled Texas toast topped with garlic butter or cheese

• Cold beverages enjoyed around the fire

Don't forget to set up one of our folding tables (available as an enhancement) to create the perfect outdoor dining experience!

Making Memories Around the Fire

Some of our favorite guest stories come from families gathering around the campfire, sharing meals like these kabobs while watching the sunset over Lake Walter F. George or listening to the night sounds at Lake Seminole. There's something about cooking and eating outdoors that brings people closer together.

The outdoor sound systems in both Waylon and Willie let you set the perfect mood with your favorite playlist, while the outdoor lighting ensures you can keep the party going as the stars come out.

Tips from the Road

After a year of delivering smiles (and campers) across southwest Georgia, southeast Alabama, and northwest Florida, we've learned a few tricks:

1. Prep at home when possible: Cut your vegetables and prepare your marinade before you leave home. Store everything in coolers for the trip to your campsite.

2. Bring extra skewers: They're lightweight and take up almost no space, but having extras means everyone can help with the assembly.

3. Make it a group activity: Let everyone build their own kabobs. Kids especially love choosing their own combination of ingredients.

4. Don't forget the cleanup: The outdoor kitchen makes cleanup a breeze, and we provide dish soap and cleaning supplies in every rental.
