Growing up in Tamuning, I went to fiestas a couple of times a month. They always had shrimp/chicken/beef kelaguen, sometimes almost too spicy to eat (which was the best). I've typically made this with raw shrimp, cut very small to ensure it properly 'cooks' in the lemon juice. Thanks for a great memory, this recipe turned out just fine.

I didn't have coconut, so added jicama diced and I diced the white onion also. I chilled and sprinkled lemon juice and chili pepper and then tossed.Then added a little salt. Served with club crackers.

Hi all I am from Guam an Island in the Pacific Ocean about 8 hours from Hawaii(by plane). I work for the Hospital at Respiratory Care as an Administrative Assistant/EKGs. I love cooking during my days off, especially Chamorro and filipino dishes. I am a dessert freak. My favorite cook book is called ISAn Fina Mangnge which consist of all our island favorite feasta food.
