The Best Seafood BBQ Ideas for Your Beachside Villa

Private Chef Paella

Nothing beats a BBQ by the beach, especially when fresh seafood is on the grill. If you're staying in a villa in Marbella or Costa del Sol, a seafood BBQ is the perfect way to enjoy the warm weather, great company, and delicious food. Here are some of the best seafood BBQ ideas to make your gathering a hit!

🦐 Grilled Garlic Prawns

Prawns cook quickly and are full of flavor. Marinate them in olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and a touch of chili for a little kick. Grill them for a couple of minutes on each side until they turn pink, and serve with a fresh squeeze of lemon.

🐟 Whole Grilled Sea Bass

Sea bass is a fantastic choice for the BBQ. Stuff it with fresh herbs, garlic, and slices of lemon, then brush it with olive oil and grill until the skin is crispy. The result? A juicy, flavorful fish that melts in your mouth.

🦑 Marinated Squid or Octopus

Grilled squid or octopus is a Spanish favorite. A simple marinade of olive oil, garlic, and paprika brings out the best flavors. Grill for a few minutes until tender and slightly charred, then serve with a drizzle of lemon and fresh parsley.

🦞 Lobster Tails with Butter & Herbs

For something extra special, grill some lobster tails. Brush them with garlic butter, sprinkle with sea salt, and cook until the meat turns white and firm. Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.

🦪 Grilled Oysters with Garlic Butter

Oysters aren’t just for eating raw! Pop them on the grill with a bit of garlic butter and let them cook in their shells until they start to bubble. A smoky, buttery treat that pairs perfectly with a cold glass of white wine.

🍢 Seafood Skewers

Mix things up with skewers! Alternate chunks of salmon, shrimp, and vegetables like bell peppers and zucchini. Brush with a light garlic and lemon marinade, then grill until everything is slightly charred.

🍋 Perfect Sides & Drinks

Pair your seafood BBQ with fresh salads, grilled vegetables, and crusty bread. For drinks, a crisp white wine, a refreshing sangria, or an ice-cold beer will match perfectly with the seafood flavors.
