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.

How To Make cajun-spiced smoked shrimp with remoulade

  • Step 1
    Soak wood chips in water 1 hour; drain.
  • Step 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.
  • Step 3
    To prepare rémoulade, 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.
  • Step 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.
  • Step 5
    Place grill rack on grill. Place shrimp in a grilling skillet (or use skewers); place skillet on grill rack over unheated side.
  • Step 6
    Cover and grill 15 minutes or until shrimp are done, stirring after 7 minutes. Serve with rémoulade.
