Grilled Snapper Vera Cruz

100% would make this recipe for Grilled Snapper Vera Cruz again.

An amazing sauce to go atop any fish really. I also have used over pasta and received rave reviews. Add a little cornstarch and water if you'll be putting it over pasta or rice.

Very good recipe. However I made it with boneless, skinless chicken breasts. The sauce also works well with thin bone in pork chops. Yum!

Looks awesomely yummy! However, the cuisine should be Mexico, not Argentina... ;-) (Couldn't find how to change it.)

I grilled fresh snapper in my smoker using oak and a bit of hickory. This recipe is a real winner!

Fresh snapper is plentiful here on the Gulf Coast so this recipe is a real winner. We like it over some Texmati rice. The picture by Susan is truly wonderful also.
