This marinade is awesome. It has just the right amount of spice, a nice twist of citrus, and the little touch of honey is perfect. I used it on shrimp, as suggested, which I enjoyed very much, but also used some to marinate a chicken breast for my non-seafood eating husband. It worked just as well on the chicken. Thanks for sharing a real keeper recipe. Made for Dining Daredevils for ZWT V.

Yummmmmmy. I don't even really no what else to say. This was super, we grilled them outside. The ONLY difference I might make is to add some more lemon, but we LOVE lemon. :) Made for ZWT
