(ke-la-gwin maw-nuk)

Kelaguen is basically cooking a source of protein in lemon, salt, onions and hot pepper. Chamorros "kelaguen" primarily chicken, beef, shrimp and deer. But, we also "kelaguen" spam, of course and imitation crab. Coconut is used much of the time for that richer flavor, though it is optional other than when making shrimp kelaguen.
