- Place your choice of protein, such as chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp, in a shallow dish or ziplock bag.
- Pour the marinade over the protein, making sure it is well coated. If using ziplock bag, seal it and gently massage the bag to evenly distribute the marinade.
- Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the protein.

- Remove the protein from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Grill the protein for the recommended cooking time or until it reaches your desired level of doneness, flipping it once halfway through.
