I was talking to my friend, Jean, the other day and she asked me to post a recipe.
So here goes, this is what we had for dinner last night (sorry I should have taken a pic, but I didn't think of it). It is tasty, and the best part about it is it is so good for you.
***
BBQ Basket Marinade
Marinade:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 c water
1/4 c. dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp. basil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
***
Meat:
Chicken, cut up into chunks
Shrimp, raw (deveined and with the tails removed)
***
Veggies: You can use whatever veggies you like, here's my favorites to use in it:
Zuchinni
Squash
Onion
Mushrooms
Cherry Tomatoes (I only use these sometimes)
Green Bell Pepper
***
Mix up the marinade and add meat and cut up veggies. I put them in a BBQ basket and then BBQ (when you put it in the basket, do not pour in, scoop the meat and veggies in so you don't get to much extra marinade on your BBQ...we don't want to start a fire).
If you don't have a BBQ basket you can put them on skewers, but I think the meat gets so tender and delicious in the BBQ basket.

Mmmm, it's a perfect little dinner for the summertime.
Now I want some new recipes, so post one, email me one or leave one in my comments.
