4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Juice from 2 limes
2 jalapeño chili peppers, seeded and chopped

immediately.

Lemon-Basil Marinade

at work. The flavoring comes through equally well whether you
use the marinade for chicken, shrimp or salmon. (Allow 3 to 8
hours to marinate.)
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Juice from 1 lemon
About 12 leaves fresh basil, chopped
6 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Crushed red pepper flakes to taste
In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients.
