I've bought a few bottles of rubs for chicken and steak ... really quite nice although they can be too hot if there's a lot of ground peppers in the mix.
Words like Bold, Spicy or Robust don't always tell the whole story. Example .... Jars of salsa come labeled Mild, Meduim and Hot .... but not jars of rub in the spice aisles.
So .... I was thinking of making a citrus marinade .... something flavorful but not hot.
Any suggestions ? TIA!

If you type in APRIL 2021 RECIPE GAME and select board in the drop down menu from the search box in these forums my posting of Cuban Style Mojo Marinade from the Gypsy Plate website will be message 5 of 43.
There are many variations of these Bahamian style marinades when you search the web. I used to buy the bottled ones and decided to experiment and now always make my own from scratch.
Hope this helps.

and I hope you don't mind me reposting...it sounds SO good!!!!
Cuban Style Mojo Marinade
from the Gypsy Plate website
Featured Ingredient: GRAPEFRUIT
1/4 cup olive oil
1 & 1/2 cups orange juice
1/3 cup each lemon and lime juice
1/3 cup grapefruit juice
2 Tsps. dried oregano
2 Tsps. kosher salt
1 Tsp. black pepper
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped
minced parsley
This marinade is typically used to marinate pork, chicken, or beef, but I think it is also good for marinating shrimp.
You could incorporate the shrimp in a salad of mixed salad greens and add fresh grapefruit and orange segments for a refreshing spring or summer entree. If you have some fresh strawberries you could halve and add those as well.

BUT...the statin I am on is highly affected by grapefruit juice.
Can't have even a little.
What would you suggest I sub? More OJ? Lemon or lime juice?
any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! TIA!

@RespectLife A big thank you from the technically challenged "me" for reposting the actual original post.
I understand the grapefruit problem regarding statin drugs.
If you want the marinade more on the sweet side increase the orange juice by another 1/3 cup. If you adore limes, as I do, increase the lime juice by 1/3 cup.
Try a little sample as you are blending and your taste buds will guide you.
With warm regards and best wishes for a pleasant day,
