Zesty seafood marinade

Since learning of an intolerance to ginger, have had to rethink a lot of my go-to marinades... this fresh and zesty green chilli marinade for grilled seafood (followed by a spritz of lime juice) is seriously outta this world... already craving another batch!

10 prawns or 500g mixed seafood

1 green chilli

4 cloves garlic

Zest from 1 lime

Juice from half a lime

Salt to taste or 1 tablespoon light soy sauce

Method: In a food processor or blender, grind chilli, garlic and salt into a rough paste. Marinade seafood in paste for half an hour or more. Cook seafood either on a grill or roasting pan in pre-heated oven (about 15-20mins at 200c). Once done, take off heat and spritz with lime juice.

Note: Do not add lime juice to your marinade as the acid may start "cooking" the seafood and it will end up rubbery/tough once it hits the grill...
