Step:

  1. Place the orange juice, lemon or lime juice, orange zest (if using), garlic, olive oil and basil in a small bowl or plastic container.

  2. Mix well.

  3. *This recipe makes about 2/3 cup of sauce.*

  4. **This recipe will cover about 1 1/2 pounds of shrimp or chicken.**

  5. ***The chicken or shrimp should marinade in this sauce for ONLY 1 to 2 hours or the citrus will "cook" the proteins with the acids in the juices. It's not a huge issue, but it will alter the texture somewhat.***

Ingredients

  1. 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  2. 2 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
  3. 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  4. 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
  5. 3 tbsp olive oil
  6. 1/2 tsp grated fresh orange zest (optional)
