Method

Preparation

1

Marinating the Meats and Seafood

In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Place the beef steak, pork chops, chicken thighs, salmon fillets, and shrimp into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meats and seafood, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.

Grilling

2

Preparing the Grill

Soak mesquite wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, prepare the coals and add the drained wood chips directly onto the coals.

3

Grilling the Meats and Seafood

Remove the marinated meats and seafood from the refrigerator. Place them on the grill. Grill the beef steak for about 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, pork chops for 5-7 minutes per side, chicken thighs for 6-7 minutes per side, salmon fillets for 4-6 minutes per side, and shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Make sure to turn them halfway through cooking.

Serving the Dish
