KEY WEST CHICKEN



Key West Chicken image

This recipe from the Florida Keys has been given to almost everyone I know. It is the best marinade for chicken, and it only takes 30 minutes from prep till you can grill! It's a great blend of flavors with honey, soy sauce, and lime juice. If you have time, try marinating overnight for the fullest flavor.

PINEAPPLE HONEY GRILLED KEY WEST SHRIMP



Pineapple Honey Grilled Key West Shrimp image

My version of a recipe found online. I love grilled pineapple and this went great with my toasted coconut rice pilaf and spice rubbed grilled chicken! The shrimp was tender and juicy! If using wooden skewers make sure you soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes. You could add some crushed red pepper or hot sauce to the marinade for some kick:-0

You can cook these under the broiler. For variation, try marinating shrimp, (which will take 2-4 minutes to grill or broil in all!) Serve with fresh salad, steamed veggies, baked potato or any of your favorite sides.
