Cerveza and Lime Marinade for Shrimp and Fish

This turned out amazing! We marinated for a couple of hours and cooked them over mesquite coals! They were wonderful!

Followed recipe as written. It is a favorite of the whole family.

Loved it

A very good recipe with a little kick!

I used this marinate for shrimp kabobs. They turned out delicious. The family loved it

Too bitter. Edible but that is all.

Did not use the beer but was delicious!

I’ve made this marinade several times for grilled veggies and chicken. The recipe is huge, so I cut it in half unless I’m entertaining a crowd. Made as written, it was a bit spicy for my husband, but cutting the jalapeño in half was still flavorful enough for me. The downside is that this does take some time to prep, but if you make it in advance and marinate overnight, the meat and veggies can go right on the grill without extra effort which is great for entertaining. I use it at least twice each summer.

We loved this with chicken breasts on the grill! After adjusting for 4 instead of 8, I added more lime juice to 1/2 cup and just used the whole bottle of Mexican beer (why not?!). I’m not a fantastic griller so I’ve learned to marinate extra long — 4 hours on this one. The chicken was absolutely divine! Great lime taste with an earthy note from the beer. This is so easy and so good.

Wonderful!

The most amazing shrimp marinade I have ever tasted. I felt like I was sitting on a sunset beach restaurant in Mexico. Don’t change a thing. Don’t even think about skipping the cilantro.

Thanks for a wonderful marinade! The flavor was just right-tangy, spicy and not over powering at all. Tried it on shrimp kabobs and cod fillets, then grilled them both. Made for a light and refreshing meal. Enjoyed with a New Zeland White wine and Maui Sunset, what a perfect night.

No time to marinate so I roasted fish kebobs in the sauce @ 375 for 25 minutes. Brilliant! I know it wold be even better grilled.

This marinade is wonderful, I wouldn’t change a thing. I made a half recipe for a freshly caught striper, and it was a huge hit! The thick consistency helps the marinade stick to the meat for lots of flavor. Definitely making this one again, and again. I think I’ll try it on chicken too!

really good, but took a while to assemble

AMAZING! I used it on tilapia and shrimp (marinated for about 12 hours) and the flavor was incredible – really fresh and tangy, but not too overwhelming. Would probably be just as good without the tequila. Five stars!

Outstanding marinade…made as directed. Used it with talipia and shrimp and then grilled them. Put in warm flour tortillas and topped with Avocado, Tomato and Mango Salsa (from this site)…excellent! (Was worried that marinade would be too strong because I marinated seafood for 3 hours…no worries…it was perfect. Didn’t have problem with fish turning green, either.)

This is perfect! Some people like heavy flavor, I don’t, not on my seafood! It’s not red meat, so… This was pefect! And I also used the marinade to keep the other three meats I tried also at the same time moist! Thanks!

Excellent marinade! Used it for grilling shrimp! Used lemon juice instead of lime and it worked quite well!

I marinaded for an hour prior to baking some Tilapia and broiling some shrimp. The flavor didn’t penetrate the meat very well and my family was a bit turned off that the fish and shrimp were green. The flavor of the marinade was ok, but I won’t be making this again.

I used it on Shrimp Kabob’s for a party and got rave reviews and several requests for the recipe. I backed off on the onions though.
