Rum lime glaze
Rum lime glaze
The classic Caribbean pairings of rum and lime are often used with fish and for good reason. The citrus freshness of the lime and the aromatic sweetness of the rum are naturally good together. We find that this is an ideal glaze for grilled fish whether they are whole, fillets or chunks as for kebabs. This is a particularly good glaze for grilled shrimp or scallop.
