How to Make Spicy Cajun Marinade Baste
- Combine all ingredients (except lime/lemon juice) in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
- Transfer the marinade to a resealable plastic bag.
- Add your chosen protein (chicken, pork, beef, or shrimp) to the bag.
- Marinate in the refrigerator, turning the bag occasionally:
- - Beef: 2-4 hours
- - Chicken or Pork: 1-2 hours
- - Shrimp: 30 minutes
- If using lime or lemon juice, add it during the last hour of marinating.
- Preheat your grill or oven to the appropriate temperature for your chosen protein.
- Remove protein from marinade and discard marinade (do not reuse).
- Grill, bake, or roast your protein to desired doneness. For best results, baste liberally with the remaining marinade during cooking.
- (Optional) For an extra kick, add a small amount of this marinade to your favorite Cajun or Creole dishes after adjusting the salt to taste.
