This smoked shrimp is one of the quickest meals you can make in your smoker. It's ready 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.

Ingredients

  • large shrimp: 1 pound (peeled and deveined)
  • Cajun seasoning: 1 tsp
  • olive oil: 1 tsp
  • butter: 0.5 cup
  • clove garlic: 1 piece (minced)
  • red pepper flakes: 0.25 tsp
  • black pepper: 0.125 tsp
  • thin strips lemon peel: 3 piece
  • sprigs fresh thyme: 5 piece
