Cilantro-Lime Marinade

Juice of 2 limes (about 1/4 c)
1/2 c olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
Kosher salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Whisk everything together (I made mine in my blender).

1 pound chicken cubed or shrimp

Add the meat and toss to coat. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or longer. For Larger pieces of meat, marinate for 4 hours. I marinated the shrimp for over 6 hours.
