Smoked Lime Cumin Shrimp

Blue Jean Chef

Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. jumbo shrimp (21/25), peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. dried red chili pepper flakes (depending on how spicy you want it)
  • Salt

Preparation

Combine the lime juice, cumin, red chili pepper flakes, and olive oil and marinate the shrimp for an hour.

Place 1 – 2 tsp. of fine wood chips on the bottom of the smoker. Place the drip pan on top of the chips, and place the rack on top of the drip pan. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the shrimp on the rack and season with salt.

Place the smoker over medium-high heat and wait until you see smoke. Once the smoke appears, cover the smoker and smoke the shrimp for 4 minutes. Turn the heat off, and let the shrimp remain in the smoker, covered, for an additional 4 minutes.

Serve with rice and vegetables, over pasta, or as an appetizer.
