Easy Oriental Marinade

[smokin5]

I use this on beef, chicken or shrimp.
Tonight was shrimp over brocolli, carrots & saffron rice.

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dry sherry or sweet vermouth
1 teaspoon basil
6-8 crushed garlic cloves
1 Tablespoon honey
2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon 5-spice

Whisk all ingredients. Pour over desired meat (insert joke here).
Let sit while you smoke a Robusto (1hr. 20 min. - 1 hr. 40 min).
Can either barbecue or saute, your call. Works great either way.
Serve with your favorite veggies over rice.

For a special summer treat, try this with bottom round steak or similar cut, & after cooking refrigerate. Slice VERY thin & serve over salad with romaine lettuce, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, baby corn, carrots, onion, pepper, & tomato. Killer!!
