  • “I made this last night for dinnerand everyone loved it!The marinade ingredients were all in perfect proportion; I thought the garlic might overpower the delicate and sweet taste of the coconut milk, but it didn’t.I had never made a marinade before using coconut milk so I’m really glad I tried this recipe because it’s fantastic.Thanks for posting!”
