my favorite quick and easy marinade
this is good for so many things. i started doing it for shrimp, but have since used it for fish (see blackened ahi / mahi mahi recipe) and beef (orange beef recipe coming soon). in particular, this is a good marinade for meats and such which will end up in an Asian-influenced dish, which is the majority of my cooking. but it would probably be good for stuff like tacos too, as well as other things.
INGREDIENTS:
- lime juice
- olive oil
- garlic (a few cloves, depending on how deep your garlic love goes, preferably chopped finely or squished or otherwise not in whole clove mode)
- ginger (fresh is better, chopped finely or grated or squished up; but dried ginger will also work if you don’t have fresh)
- Thai chilis, if you have them. they are really good, and if you like to cook Asian-influenced foods, I highly recommend starting to keep them around your kitchen. *
STEP 1:
combine roughly the same amount of lime juice and olive oil (to taste– do the stick-your-finger-innit thing and see what you think) and roughly the same amount of garlic and ginger. add chopped Thai chilis *.
STEP 2:
stick the stuff to be marinaded in the marinade and go have a drink and a cigarette.*
