The flavor is actually pretty good, but you definitely need to add some salt and then either cayenne or crushed red pepper otherwise it is on the blander side, but still a good flavor. I added a second lime for a little more acidity and lots of cilantro. I served it over romaine with diced red pepper, cilantro, lime, peanuts, and the sauce that I kept aside from the marinade. Makes an easy and tasty weeknight dinner. Would be good over rice or noodles too.
