The name says it all. This is a fantastic all-purpose marinade for chicken, fish, shrimp, even veggies. So much flavor, and so easy to put together! Use this recipe year round…in the winter I make my family’s favorite Double Lemon Chicken with Fried Capers and in the summer simply marinate shrimp or chicken thighs and throw on the grill for an unforgettable meal.
