  15. ## **Step-by-Step Instructions**
  16. ### **1. Prepare the Marinade**
  17. In a large mixing bowl, combine the **lime zest**, **lime juice**, **chopped dill**, **minced garlic**, **olive oil**, **honey**, **red pepper flakes**, **salt**, and **black pepper**. Whisk until well combined. This marinade will infuse the seafood with bright, tangy, and herbaceous flavors.
  18. ### **2. Marinate the Seafood**
  19. Cut the seafood into evenly sized pieces for even cooking. Add the seafood to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for **30 minutes to 1 hour**. Avoid over-marinating, as the lime juice can start to "cook" the seafood.
  20. ### **3. Soak Skewers (if using wooden ones)**
  21. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least **20 minutes** to prevent burning during grilling.
  22. ### **4. Assemble the Skewers**
  23. Thread the marinated seafood onto the skewers, alternating between shrimp, scallops, and fish for a colorful presentation. Leave a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
  24. ### **5. Preheat the Grill or Grill Pan**
  25. Heat your grill or grill pan to **medium-high heat**. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  26. ### **6. Grill the Skewers**
  27. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for **2-3 minutes per side**, or until the seafood is opaque and slightly charred. Be careful not to overcook, as seafood can become tough.
  28. ### **7. Garnish and Serve**
  29. Remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with additional **fresh dill** and a squeeze of **lime juice**. Serve immediately with a side of **rice**, **grilled vegetables**, or a **fresh salad**.
