Ingredients
-
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
Directions
-
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 an 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. Try not to overcook as the shrimp will become rubbery. Serve immediately.
