GARLIC BUTTER SMOKED SHRIMP



Garlic Butter Smoked Shrimp image

One of the quickest meals you can make in your smoker is shrimp, done in just 30 minutes. These shrimp are lightly seasoned to let the smoke flavor shine, but add more seasoning if desired. Because of the short smoke time, feel free to use a stronger-flavored wood such as hickory or mesquite. Serve with cheesy grits, rice, atop a salad, or as an appetizer with a remoulade sauce.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon olive oil
½ cup butter
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
3 thin strips lemon peel
5 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Place shrimp in a resealable plastic bag. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and drizzle with olive oil. Toss shrimp around in the bag to evenly distribute seasoning. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Add wood chips according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Place butter in a microwave-safe dish and cook on high until completely melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in lemon peel, garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
  • Arrange shrimp in even rows in a 8x10-inch aluminum pan. Place thyme sprigs between each row. Drizzle butter mixture over shrimp.
  • Place in the preheated smoker and cook shrimp until firm and orange-pink in color, about 30 minutes. The internal temperature should be 120 degrees F (49 degrees C), about 30 minutes. Do not overcook as the shrimp will become rubbery. Serve immediately.

Provided by Leela Punyaratabandhu

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 pounds jumbo (21 to 25 per pound) or extra-jumbo (16 to 20 per pound) shrimp, left whole
1 Tbsp. salt
1 Tsbp. ground white or black pepper
15 green bird's eye chiles, or 8 jalapeño or serrano peppers, sliced
15 cloves garlic
1 cup fresh lime juice
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. granulated sugar
¼ cup fish sauce
¼ cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves and stems

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the shrimp with the salt and pepper, coating them evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
  • Meanwhile, start the sauce: In a blender, combine the chiles, garlic, lime juice, and salt and blend until the bits are the size of a match head. Transfer to a small bowl, cover, and keep at room temperature.
  • Heat a smoker to 225°F. Rinse the seasoning off the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Place the shrimp in the smoker and smoke until they turn dark coral, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • While the shrimp are smoking, stir the sugar and fish sauce into the sauce, then taste and adjust the seasoning with more fish sauce if needed. Aim for sour and hot first, then salty and just a tad bit of sweetness. Stir in the cilantro.
  • Serve the shrimp with the sauce.
