This was a simple dinner that only took a few minutes to prep but ended up being big on flavors thanks to the carrot ginger marinade. I found Cindy's Kitchen line of fresh marinades and dressings in my local Fairway market and I have to say they really help when the clock is ticking and dinner still is nowhere in sight.
