Both Memorial Day and Summer are right around the corner, meaning it’s also grilling season! This year we’re going with Grilled Shrimp and Steak Surf n’ Turf with an Avocado, Cucumber and Cherry Tomato Salsa for our Memorial Day, which is such a crowd pleaser! We were able to pick up everything we need from our local ALDI grocery store, which is basically a one stop shop for all our needs, which is super convenient and makes our life a lot easier. Not only were we able to pick up everything we need for our surf n turf with salsa dish, like the shrimp, steak, seasoning and all our produce, but we also got everything else we need to make a complete Memorial Day BBQ spread, including delicious brioche buns, BBQ baked beans, BBQ sauce, juicy watermelon, and sparkling lemonade.

ALDI also has a variety of essential entertainment and tabletop wares for your hosting convenience, which includes yard games like bean bag toss and giant tumbling towers, as well as disposable picnicware and decorative glass candle jars, so when I said a total one stop shop earlier, I wasn’t kidding!
The recipe itself couldn’t be easier to make, just give the shrimp and steak a quick rub and toss in the garlic and herb seasoning (which instantly adds a ton of flavor to the proteins), throw them on the grill for a few minutes each and you’re done! The chunky salsa also requires minimal effort, just a quick chop, dice and crumble, then toss everything together and you’re all set! Super easy and everyone will love it! Enjoy!
