The mojito, a Cuban cocktail, is made with rum, lime juice and fresh mint muddled with sugar at the bottom of a tall glass. We turned this refreshing idea into a brightly flavored marinade that works well with any light meat or seafood. Use on: Extra-firm tofu, shrimp, scallops, mahi-mahi, chicken, pork

Fantastic on Pork! I've tried this marinade, as written, on chicken, Tilapia, and pork, and it is by far the best on pork! We loved it so much we decided it should be done with pork kabobs instead of chops to maximize the surface area covered in marinade.

I used this on scallops and then grilled them with vegetables. Delicious and so easy!
