Let me explain.
Look, I totally know that is is still freezing cold where some of you guys are. And so when you saw that the title of this post included the word “grilling,” your first thought may have beenWait… as in outside?!
And here is what I say to that: this insanely delectable, spicy, slightly sweet, bursting-with-citrus marinade is totally worth putting on some snow boots, digging out the grill, and creating some good ol’ smokey flavor. Plus, seafood is totally spring-like: light, refreshing, quick to cook!
Oh, don’t give me that look. Fine. If youreally have to, you can probably cook these delicious seafood kebabs indoors, like a sane person who actually goes along with the weather and wears fuzzy socks when it is cold (which, by the way, I do… I just also really liked grilled food).
