Fairly easy to make CARIBBEAN GRILLED WHOLE RED SNAPPER with a great blend of spice from ground allspice, garlic, ginger, paprika, basil, and thyme. Moist, tender, and oozing with great flavors!

Ingredients

  • 1- 2 whole red snapper (, about 1- 1 1/2 pound each)

  • ½ cup basil (, or parsley coarsely chopped)

  • grilled plantains and/or vegetables (, side dish)

Directions

    In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients (white pepper, allspice, minced garlic, ginger, paprika, thyme, basil or parsley, chicken bouillon, and oil ) to make the marinade for fish.
