Sweet & Sour Shrimp (or Chicken) Marinade

Makes: 2 lbs

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

This marinade is absolutely fantastic for whipping up some delightful sweet and sour shrimp or chicken! The incredible natural tanginess of tamarind fruit not only adds a burst of flavor but also works wonders in tenderizing the chicken.

Just a friendly tip: when marinating shrimp or any other seafood, don't let it sit too long. The acidity in the tamarind might "cook" it before it hits the pan.
