Cajun-Spiced Smoked Shrimp With Remoulade image

I love to grill and love my smoked pulled pork. Also love shrimp. This combines smoke with shrimp. I like to use a grilling skillet, but feel free to use skewers. Adapted from a Steven Raichlen recipe. Prep time does not include the time to soak the wood chips. Shrimp marinating time is included in prep time.

1 1/2 c hickory chips
SHRIMP
1 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp ground sage
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
REMOULADE SAUCE
1/2 c mayonnaise
3 Tbsp green onions, finely chopped
2 Tbsp celery, finely chopped
2 Tbsp ketchup
1 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 Tbsp capers, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp creole mustard
1 tsp prepared horseradish
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
2 hard boiled eggs

Steps:

  • 1. Soak wood chips in water 1 hour; drain.
  • 2. To prepare shrimp, combine paprika and the next 9 ingredients (through red pepper). Combine olive oil and shrimp in a bowl, and toss to coat. Sprinkle shrimp with rub, and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • 3. To prepare rĂ©moulade, combine mayonnaise and the next 10 ingredients (through garlic) in a medium bowl. Remove yolks from eggs; discard yolks or reserve for another use. Finely chop egg whites, and stir into mayonnaise mixture. Cover; chill.
  • 4. Remove grill rack, and set aside. Prepare the grill for indirect grilling, heating one side to high and leaving one side with no heat. Pierce the bottom of a disposable aluminum foil pan several times with the tip of a knife. Place pan on hot coals on the hot side of grill; add soaked wood chips to pan. Let wood chips stand for 15 minutes or until smoking.
  • 5. Place grill rack on grill. Place shrimp in a grilling skillet (or use skewers); place skillet on grill rack over unheated side.
  • 6. Cover and grill 15 minutes or until shrimp are done, stirring after 7 minutes. Serve with rĂ©moulade.
