Thai Inspired Seafood Marinade
This delicious marinade has a fantastic blend of flavours that beautifully complement seafood. We have found that it works best with nice large pieces, like fresh prawns, calamari hoods and rings or good sized pieces of boneless fish. That being said, if you are not a seafood lover but still enjoy Thai flavours, try this marinade with chicken instead.
