recipe by Lori Ross

Mojo (pronounced “mo-ho”), the essential condiment of Cuba, combines citrus juice, garlic, oregano, and pepper and is used as a paste-rub, a dressing, a sauce, a condiment for sandwiches, and a marinade for shrimp, pork, and chicken. Mojo is produced by a number of manufacturers and is available in most grocery stores in South Florida, as are sour oranges (bumpy, thick-skinned oranges) or bottled sour orange juice, should you want to try the recipe below. In lieu of sour orange juice, you can use equal parts orange juice and lime juice.

2 lb. large or jumbo shrimp, peeled (or scallops or fish cut into 2-inch cubes)
8-10 wood or metal skewers
