I LOVE this marinade. I've used it for barbequed chicken breasts and thighs a couple of times, but tonight I marinated shrimp in it and barbecued the shrimp over mesquite coals. It is to die for! I made shrimp tacos with the shrimp by crisping tortillas over the coals and then topping the tacos with fresh avocado, garden tomatoes, sour cream, and cilantro sprigs. I would have to say that the shrimp have definitely been the best meat for this marinade, so far. Try it! You won't be sorry.

<p>I live in suburban Detroit and work for a very busy and ever-growing local hospital. I love being able to go online at the end of the day when I'm thinking about what to make for dinner. Then I'm able to pick up anything I don't have on the way home.</p>
