Lemon Pepper Marinade

Lemon pepper marinade is a simple but flavorful marinade for chicken or shrimp. This easy marinade recipe can also be used to make a delicious, tangy salad dressing!

Making lemon pepper marinade from scratch is so much tastier and less expensive than anything from a bottle in the grocery store!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
zest of one lemon
3 garlic cloves, mashed
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
few drops tabasco sauce
2 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl with a whisk.  Pour into a large ziploc bag and add your meat (great with chicken, shrimp and fish).  

Marinate in the refrigerator for two hours.  If using for shrimp, only marinate for 30 minutes.  I love this marinade for grilled chicken and shrimp.  It’s easy to throw together and adds so much flavor!
