In your book, you have a recipe for Spicy Margarita Marinade. The recipe doesn't call for any lime juice. Is that correct or a misprint?

Love the book, by the way

Hi Tom,
Yes it should and thanks for catching it. Here's the correct recipe.

Here’s perfect spicy Southwestern marinade for shrimp, chicken, or fish that’s headed for the grill.

1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
2 serrano or jalapeño chiles, seeds and stems removed, finely chopped

Combine all the ingredients in a nonreactive bowl and allow to sit for ½ hour.
Yield: About 1-1/4 cup.
