Hi y’all…I realize I am a little late here, but I’m behind in checking my mail. I have a couple of marinade recipes I would like to share…

The Garlic marinade is awesome on the steaks. I did a steak w/it Father’s Day & it was good. I reheated the other half of the steak Tues eve, and it was actually better than it was Sunday! I’m not sure where I got the recipe…

The shrimp marinade was shared with me my by my Uncle. He is a (home) gourmet cook, one whole wall in his living room has bookshelves with nothing but cookbooks!

I have recently embarked on a learning journey in which I wanted to learn about rubs and marinades that will spice up our boring BBQ’s…thank you all so very much for giving me such an amazing choice. Now I just have to decide which to choose first…

Thanks a bunch for this list of substitutions, it will defintely come in handy. :slight_smile:

I have tried a number of different rubs/marinades over the years. While I have settled on a few that I consistently use when I have time to prepare food properly, I have found something very simple that everybody seems to like when I have to prepare food in a hurry:
