Zesty Caribbean Mojo Marinade

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 TBS olive oil
• 1 TBS brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 TBS Salted Perfection Key West Select Blend
• 1 small Scotch bonnet pepper, seeded and minced (optional for heat)
• 2 TBS chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the fresh orange juice and lime juice—this is your citrus punch, no extra juice needed.
2. Add minced garlic, olive oil, brown sugar, cumin, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Whisk together like you mean it, making sure the sugar dissolves completely.
3. Stir in Salted Perfection Key West Select Blend and the minced Scotch bonnet pepper if you want to crank up the heat. Remember, respect the pepper or it’ll respect you!
4. Fold in chopped cilantro last to keep that fresh green vibe bright and lively.
5. Pour this marinade over your choice of meat, seafood, or veggies in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight—patience is a virtue, kid.
6. When ready, remove from marinade and cook as desired—grill, roast, or pan-sear. Let those flavors sing!
