Great to see others trying this recipe! I hope yours turns out as good as mine did. I like the idea of using Old Bay too. Can never go wrong with Old Bay. That's what I love about this hobby and this forum. Everyone has their own spin on things and the pics are always awesome. Too bad we all live so far apart. Imagine the block party we could have!

Smoked steaks and shrimp yesterday with 2.5oz of mesquite at 225F.  The steaks reached 120IT at about 45 minutes, so I pulled them and let the shrimp go for another 15 minutes.   The steaks were reversed seared on the gasser and allowed to rest for 15 minutes before dinner.   The smoke on the steaks was excellent, and even better on the shrimp!    I used the recipe provided in the beginning of this post for the shrimp marinade, with the exception that I substituted 1TBSP of Old Bay instead of Cajun seasoning.   I will be doing this again!   In the picture I had removed the shells on the shrimp, but to avoid confusion they were shelled while in the smoker.

After seeing Tim's post, I had to give this a try.

I made a few adjustments to the recipe.

1.5 lb fresh St Augustine shrimp, shell on but devein.
8 oz Italian dressing
1 1/2 stick unsalted butter
1 T Chef Paul seasoned blackened redfish magic
2 t (my rub, any low salt will work)
1 T lemon juice
1 T minced garlic

Mix all ingredients, except the shrimp in a small pan and cook over medium heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Place shrimp in throw away pan, cover with sauce, make sure the shrimp is well coated and then place in smoker.

1.1 oz mesquite
1.1 oz sugar maple

Smoke time 1 hour at 225 degrees.






The shrimp turned out great, good smoke flavor and I have enough for taco's in a few nights.

* Note next time, I may reduce smoke time to 45-50 minutes, a few of the shrimp were a bit to soft....

Hey Tim,

It's red curried beans over rice.

Made this over the weekend. With a few changes.
Removed the shells from shrimp.
Lined the bottom of the pan with lemon slices.
Served over 1lb. of spaghetti.

Sounds great Tex. Do the shrimp without the shells dry out at all?

Tex...how long did you smoke the shrimp without the shells?  I did one hour with the shells on and got a lot of smoke flavor.

No they did not. That's why I put the lemon slices on bottom.
I put them in and ran the smoker for 1 hr.
Tasted great.
