Adding onion, 6 cloves of garlic, and ginger to lemon juice and olive oil gives you a wonderfully flavourful combination - the chili powder an unexpected touch that makes this marinade special. Have been doing skewers as starts/appetizers for our outdoor cookouts - this one went over big time!I think it would be great for chicken as well. One can't have too many combinations of marinades for those summer BBQ's! Thank you Jewelies - have added this to my collection.

Jewelies, I thought of you while we devoured these last night. We washed them down with a wooden lemon flavour dry white. The marinade was very nice and ease to prepare. Great taste and combination of flavours. Thank you for posting.

this was a great marinade for shrimp on the barbie. i put the shrimp on a metal rack in the grill, and they were ready in about 6 minutes, turning once. my family enjoyed this as an appetizer and i loved the ease of preparation.
