Smoked Buttery Shrimp

SMOKED BUTTERY SHRIMP


This smoked shrimp recipe is super easy to make and super tasty too! Only six ingredients and less than one hour for prep and cooking!

Ingredients

  • 15 large shrimp
  • 1/2 Cup (aka- 1 stick) butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 sticks Rosemary
  • 1 Tablespoon seasoning of your choice
  • 1/4 lemon, squeezed


Instructions

  1. Rinse shrimp, devein, de-shell as needed
  2. Apply to season
  3. In a bowl, melt one stick of butter. Once melted, add minced garlic
  4. Grab an 8x8 foil pan, place shrimp in three rows (see pic above)
  5. Pour butter and garlic mix onto shrimp. Squeeze 1/4 of a lemon into pan and place the two sticks of rosemary in between the three rows of shrimp (again, see pic above)
  6. Get smoker up to 275F with pecan wood. Once ready, place the pan in grill over indirect heat for 20-25 minutes. Shrimp will turn an orangish color when finished.

Notes
The prime internal temp for shrimp to be done is 120 degrees Fahrenheit. It will have a firm bite and will be orange. Going too much over that temp can turn them rubbery to the bite.
