Customer Reviews
Very good product. Big hit at my bbq! Is there any place in Vancouver BC I can buy this product?
I put a little under 2 tablespoons for a bag of thawed shrimp. I didn't even have much time to marinate them (under an hour) and I put them in the air fryer. UNREAL. So much flavour!! I served it with vermicelli noodles and fresh greens, herbs, cucumber and pickled carrot and it was light, flavourful and definitely a new staple. I will be purchasing more of this jar and others.
I purchased a jar at the TO food and drink fest and was really eager to try it. I used it to marinade chicken thighs to put in the grill and it was delicious! Really nice flavour, mild heat, even the kids enjoyed it. I’m sad I only bought one jar but will be ordering more soon!
Highly recommend!!!
