Cerveza and Lime Marinade for Shrimp and Fish

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cerveza (your favorite brand)
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cerveza and fresh lime juice. This dynamic duo serves as the flavorful base of your marinade.
  2. Add the minced garlic, cayenne pepper, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Whisk everything together until the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Place your shrimp or fish fillets in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the seafood, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. If you have more time, marinating for 2-3 hours will maximize the flavors.
  4. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the seafood from the marinade, discarding any excess liquid.
  5. Grill or cook the shrimp or fish for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and flaky.
  6. Once done, remove from heat and let rest for a minute. Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro for an extra pop of color and flavor!

And there you have it! A simple yet delicious Cerveza and Lime Marinade that will turn any ordinary meal into a flavorful fiesta. Serve your grilled shrimp or fish with a side of rice or a fresh salad, and watch everyone savor every bite!
