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.

[Allen Bales]

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

I liked them both.

It appears whatever I did when making the Chicken batch of the marinade, made it redder. Unless some of that is part of the solution that comes with the chicken breast package. This was frozen chicken.
