So many compliments!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved this marinade and will definitely try on other fish/meat in the future. One habenaro does the trick for sure -... just nice and spicy enough to make the mouth tingle. I used some massive prawns and only had the wooden (soaked) skewers. Delicious, unique, herby flavor. Prawns were absolutely beautiful off the grill - everyone raved.Read more

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This sauce was so fresh-tasting. I cut back on the soy sauce by 2 TBSP, and added 2 TBSP dijon mustard. Sauce was so good I... set some aside and served it with baked tilapia a few days later. I'll definitely make again. Read more

really unique and delicious flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for a wedding shower bbq for 50 last week. People really loved the flavor, its unique, and complex. The lime and... lemon flavor, mixed with the coconut and habanero chile, was a great combination. I kept the shrimp in the shell, but i think i'll take it off next time, makes it easier to eat. I just used regular wooden 10 inch skewers, soaked in water. It has like a thai taste to it. When i first tried the sauce after i pureed it, i had my doubts, but on the shrimp, it really was delicious. A truly gourmet recipe.Read more

quick to make
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

nice quick marinade. I gave it an extra toss in the marinade after cooking, Taste to make sure the end result has enough... citrus, if not, add more lime into the marinade with a final coating. I had leftover marinade, tried it on some Cod. It was ok, won't do that again, better on the meatier shrimp. I think scallops would work better.Read more

Very Good - Added Dijon Mustard
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was very good. I added dijon mustard to the recipe and it gave it a little extra "kick". Definately a favorite.
