This tangy marinade for grilled pork shoulder is swimming with spices. You'll really taste the garlic!

This is the best recipe ever for barbecue shrimp, very tasty with a little kick! You will never try another marinade again for shrimp.

Light and flavorful!

This is a perfect dish when you have company coming and no idea what to fix them, especially when you don't want to be boring about dinner.

Summer is for salmon on the grill! This sensational salmon marinade combines honey, lime, garlic, and cilantro.

This is a chicken recipe that my family absolutely loves. It is chicken breast marinated in lime juice, orange juice, lemon juice, mint, and honey. It is very tender and the chicken is very moist.

A little sherry makes all the difference in this succulent grilled chicken recipe with an Asian flair.

Great new way to prepare butterflied pork chops!

This is my absolute favorite marinade for chicken. I could eat this every night! The longer you let it marinate, the more intense the flavor. I usually let it sit overnight in the refrigerator, but a few hours will do.

Caribbean-inspired chicken kabobs. You can substitute green pepper for the red pepper, if desired.

Marinate center-cut pork chops in the pickling liquid of store-bought dill pickles: sounds strange, but it's a winner!

Delicious right off the grill! Take care not to overcook the steaks, as tuna can quickly become quite dry.

This is a longtime favorite of my family -- even the most selective 'diners' like it! Cooked ham is basted with a warm, zesty sauce while grilling. Smoked turkey slices may be substituted for ham.

Moist, flavorful chicken with potatoes, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms cooked on the grill in foil packs, makes clean-up a breeze!

We decreased the oil in this quick and easy marinade to make it healthier, but the results are still so yummy you won't need cocktail sauce.

This is a Southern California version of sweet and sour chicken, marinated and grilled with a little extra spice. Great for all barbeque lovers. I usually serve cut into lengths with fresh cilantro, homemade salsa, guacamole, black beans, and flour tortillas warmed on the grill. A little good Southern California karma never hurts anyone. This recipe is light enough to offset the first 2 margaritas. GO CHARGERS!!!

Shrimp and apples are marinated in a sweet and spicy sauce, then skewered and grilled. Serve over white rice, noodles, or a mixed green salad.

A paste made from a combination of spices and dried peppers is the secret to this spicy grilled chicken recipe. No long marinating time is required; the chicken can be prepared in the time it takes to get the coals hot.

When I bought a bottle of Key Lime juice on vacation in Florida, I wondered what I would do with it... Now this recipe is a staple in our kitchen! I hope you enjoy it too! The longer you marinate, the better the sweet-sour combo gets!

A simple recipe for barbecued sea bass. If the fish is fresh, this dish is sure to please. Great for beach side cookouts.

Nothing tastes better on a summers day then smoked fish. This can be adapted for trout etc., but the flounder cooks quick. It might take a couple tries for the novice smoker to time it right, but the effort is worth it. These are great as a main course, or a snack during all day grilling sessions. We don't just fry fish down here, we smoke 'em! Besides, aren't you tired of flipping burgers like the rest of suburbia?

These tacos are sure to impress your family and friends. A good Taco al Pastor is very hard to come by in the States. Now you can enjoy them in the comfort of your own home anytime!

This is a great marinade for chicken also. You can use apple juice for the sherry if you prefer.
