    I am sure it would be fine. It tastes amazing! I thought I was eating at a restaurant :) They say in the recipe to heat the left over marinade with some white wine and make a glaze to pour over. I didn't do that.

    Do you think it would taste as good with shrimp, or a different kind of fish? I want to have my dad and my brothers and sister over for dinner at my house before Christmas and I was looking for a good recipe. I already got the rib roast and needed something to go with it.:smile:

    I'm not sure about the shrimp. I know most people do some kind of garlic butter rub and that usually tastes real good with shrimp but you could def. try this recipe and see if it works.
