Tequila Lime Marinade

YIELD: Roughly 3/4 cup (enough for a dozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts or a couple of pounds of shrimp)

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/3 cup lime juice (bottled is fine)
• 1/3 cup water
• 3 tablespoons tequila
• 1 tablespoon Splenda
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Combine the ingredients, and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

PER SERVING:

• 13 grams of carbohydrates and 1 gram of fiber, for a total of 12 grams of usable carbs and no protein, but since you drain most of the marinade off, you won’t get more than a gram or two of carbs total.
