Delicious! I used oregano instead of marjoram. I marinated peeled shrimp in it, then grilled the shrimp. I added some extra oil to the shrimp and let them chill overnight. Took them to my monthly potluck group and everybody loved them.

    Very good ! it's very easy to make and great to use. I was out of marjoram so used thyme sprigs in mine.. I think that any strong herb would go equally well. Made for Zaar World Tour 2008. Thanks!
