i marinated this about an hour and a half. It was nice way to grill squash, but the flavor didn't really work for us. It may just be a personal taste thing.

I took NcMysteryShopper's advice and marinated the veggies for about 3 hours. Had a really good flavor. Since I was grilling for the main course I loved that I could make this on the grill too. One less pot to wash! Thanks for a lovely way to do summer squash. Made for the Babes of ZWT4.

We had this with some Yakitori chicken tonight. I took note of NcMysteryShopper's review and the need to marinate it longer and to add more jalapeno. I added extra japapeno (amd basil) but what I also did was to add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the marinade. I think that may have helped a lot because I didn't even get to marinate it an hour and I had a good amount of flavor and heat going. Very nice. Thanks for posting. Made for my Babes during the ZWT4.

I made this recipe to fulfill the Asian Country Challenge for the ZWT. The squash was very good. I allowed the squash to marinate for 2 hours, but when I make this again (and I plan to!) I will definitely marinate it longer. I was disappointed that there was no heat to the squash so I may also use more jalapeÃ±os. This is definitely worth making! Give it a try, you wont be disappointed!
