I thought this recipe would be a little fussy, but oh boy was it good! I just threw everything in a ziploc bag with some jumbo shrimps. I let them marinate about 2 hours, then grilled. I served them as appetizers. Made for ZWT #6 - Family Picks.

I had a tilapia fillet in the freezer and used this recipe to prepare it. Wonderful! I just loved it. It adds personality to an otherwise bland fish. Made for ZWT6 Seasoned Sailor and his Sassy Sirens.
