Summary
This is a simple and tasty shrimp marinade that is perfect for the BBQ. I serve them as a main course over rice or as appetizers. They also go well with a Parmesan or olive oil pasta. It also works well for fish, so you can try a mix of shrimp and your favorite fish (Tilapia, Catfish, Red Snapper, Salmon, etc.)

Not only was the marinade wonderful on shrimp, but I had some left over & the coals were still hot, so I dipped a couple pork chops in it & grilled them & they were to die for! Thanks for a great recipe!I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
