Ray's Florida Marinade

[Joan]

I have a small juicer so I can make the orange and lime juice from there.

Would this be good for chicken breasts? I am also trying to incorporate more shrimp, so I can also try that. What do you think? Which one should I do?

How many chicken breasts or large shrimp pieces will the marinade be good for? So I know if I want to double the recipe to make more marinade.

How long should I marinade for? 24 hours?

I'm thinking if I go with shrimp, I'll use the gas grill. If I go with chicken, I'll use the lower rack on the WSM (since that's my charcoal grill).

Arun, I am not a big fan of chicken breast, I would use thighs and of course shrimp (big fan of shrimp lol) and 4 hours of marinating should be enough. I'm sorry, I don't know how many of each the recipe will marinate. DH probably cut the recipe in half just for the 2 of us.

Thanks. I'll try it with shrimp.

How should I grill the shrimp?

I bought the Chicken Of The Sea shrimp, that said there's between 26-30 pieces per pound.

Looking at it now, do you think it will fall through the grates on a gas grill?

These are what the grates look like:

If so, should I then use a wooden plank?

Or should I just cook it through different means?

Anyone out there that can answer these questions for Arun?

Could put them on skewers?

Could put them on skewers?

Great idea.

I have 2 skewers, never used them before. I wonder how I got them.

That's probably not enough for 25 or 26 pieces, so I'll get 5 or 6 more tonight.

Could put them on skewers?

Unless the shrimp are very large, I always put them on a skewer. Sometimes using two skewers will make them easier to flip.

Somewhere along the line DW purchased metal skewers that are flat instead of round. Makes them easy to flip.
