I was in the doctor's office with my son last week and was reading through Parenting magazine and found some great recipes. It's so quick and easy I was sure I had done this before. It is great for seafood, chicken, and pork.
Lime and Garlic Marinade
Lime zest of 3 limes
1/4 cup lime juice
1 Tbsp garlic minced
1/4 cup olive oil
sea salt and pepper
I put this all together in a bowl and threw in about a 1lb of shrimp for 30 minutes. I then skewered them and threw them on the grill. They were delicious. The shrimp was a hit. After dinner I thought adding a little bit of honey to the marinade would be good too! Because out of that same magazine there was another simple recipe I found and made for lunch during the week. So while I was grilling the shrimp I threw some chicken on with just salt pepper and olive oil. Once the chicken was finished I drizzled honey over it and the chicken was great. So I know the dish will be good. It's actually supposed to be Chicken Asian Lettuce Wraps but I made it a salad.
Asian Chicken Salad
For the base I used, a half package of chow mein noodles, boiled, drained, and let chill.
1 lg shredded or sliced carrot with a vegetable peeler like ribbons
1/2 cucumber cut length wise seeded and sliced thin
2 scallions sliced
cilantro chopped as much desired
1 red jalapeno thinly sliced
1 cup sugar snap peas or snow peas
I mixed this all together and the next day added the chicken sliced with the juice of a lime, a little sesame oil, grated ginger, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and a little shredded lettuce. Adding a little peanut sauce would be great for flavor too. That is easy to make. Peanut butter and hot waster mixed.
