Ingredients:
- 1 lb fresh fish fillets (such as mahi-mahi or tuna)
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 lb crab legs
- 1 lb lobster tails
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
1- Prepare the marinade by combining minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
2- Place the seafood (fish fillets, shrimp, crab legs, and lobster tails) in a large shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the seafood, making sure it's evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
3- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
4- Remove the seafood from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Thread the shrimp onto skewers if desired, to prevent them from falling through the grill grates.
5- Place the seafood on the preheated grill. Cook the fish fillets for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and easily flake with a fork. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Cook the crab legs and lobster tails for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through.
6- Once the seafood is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
7- Enjoy your Grilled Chamorro Seafood Fiesta with your favorite side dishes such as red rice, coconut rice, or grilled vegetables for a complete Guam-inspired meal!
