Tracey's Notes

This recipe is one of my favorite ways to showcase our Lime Olive Oil during grilling season. The citrus brightens the warm jerk spices and creates a fresh, vibrant flavor that keeps everyone coming back for seconds. If you enjoy a little extra heat, add a diced jalapeño or increase the cayenne pepper. For a sweeter tropical twist, serve alongside grilled pineapple or fresh mango salsa.
