Smoke-grilled shrimp

Author: Martin Earl

This recipe is a quick one and will become a regular in your rotation once you try it out. To make it easy, buy peeled, deveined shrimp that you can just thaw and use. Remember to use a thermometer like Smoke® X2 (combined with Billows™) to keep track of the shrimp so they don’t go rubbery on you, and verify that all the shrimp are done using a fast and accurate thermometer like Thermapen® ONE.

Succulent, butter/garlicky shrimp, coming right up!

Description

Easy, fast, tasty shrimp, from Dan Phelps of Learningtosmoke.com, as seen on our video on YouTube.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (16–20 size or larger), thawed if frozen
  • Lemon-pepper seasoning or citrusy BBQ rub
  • 1/2 C (1 stick) butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 large sprig rosemary

Instructions

  • Use Smoke X2 and Billows to preheat your smoker to 275°F (135°C). Add a small chunk of smoking wood to the coals.
  • Array your shrimp in an 8″x8″ pan in three rows, overlapping each shrimp over the previous one.
  • Season the shrimp with the citrus rub/lemon pepper.
  • Mix the chopped garlic into the butter and pour it all over the seasoned shrimp.
  • Cut the lemon into quarters and squeeze one quarter all over the shrimp. (If it isn’t very juicy, squeeze more on!)
  • Cut the rosemary sprig in half and lay each half between the rows of shrimp.
  • Place the pan of shrimp in the smoker. Probe the shrimp using the other probe from your Smoke X2. Set the high-temp alarm for 120°F (49°C).
  • Smoke the shrimp until the high-temp alarm sounds. It should take about 20 minutes.
  • Use your Thermapen ONE to verify the temperature of several of the shrimp and remove the pan from the smoker.
  • Serve, preferably with more lemon wedges for squeezing and lots of crusty bread for dipping in the lemony, shrimpy, garlicky butter.

    Seems like a lot of fuel for only 20 minutes of cook time,looks like a nice appetizer to go along with a main dish.
