Teriyaki Shrimp Skewers

Cole says this has been his fave marinade to-date. He is a big fan of Japanese flavors.

John initially said it only works when eaten in the same bite w/ rice. He’s not typically a fan of teriyaki. However, each time he eats it, the more he seems to enjoy it.

To me… It. Is. Good.

I had originally thought I’d post my marinades under Condiments | *From Scratch* Ingredients, but I can’t seem to resist showcasing all the shrimp enjoyment. 

Really, these marinades are great on so many types of mains:

 Beef

 Chicken

 Fish

 Pork

 Shrimp

 Tofu

 What will YOU marinate in this one… Or:

• the Fajita one
• the Lemon Basil one
• the Modena one, or
• the Roman one???
