Still Smokin': Dub Shack BBQ Presents Smoked Shrimp

Even beyond rib tips, this is absolutely my wife's favorite barbecue item that I cook. This is also wicked easy as well as tasty so don't stray too far from the grill or smoker!

INGREDIENTS

2 lbs. shrimp, preferably jumbo or colossal

Old Bay seafood seasoning

1/2 lb butter

1/4 c Worcestershire sauce

One quartered lemon or its equivalent in lemon juice

1/4 c parsley

STEP ONE. Rinse the shrimp in cold water until it is no longer frozen, and set aside. If you desire, either air dry or pat them down with a paper towel and throw it away. Give the little crustaceans a shake (to taste - go easy if the spices are too hot) of Old Bay on both sides and go establish that important two-zone fire at 250-275 degrees. 

STEP TWO. As the grill comes to temperature, let's make that butter sauce! Using the microwave, melt the half-stick of butter and stir in the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and parsley to your heart's content.

STEP THREE. Combine the shrimp with the butter sauce into an aluminum pan and let them bathe in richness for a bit. Check at five minutes to see how the shrimp is coming along and give them a nice little flip. They will tell you they are finished when they are opaque and shaped like the letter C; if your shrimp curls up like a wide receiver running routes, then you overcooked them. Take off the grill immediately and serve with Texas toast or garlic bread.

If I told you I only do this recipe twice a year, you would think I'm all 🧢, and while it may be a valid statement, I generally keep it in my back pocket for special times (re: wedding anniversary, Chastity's birthday) that require more than a rack of ribs and commercial sauces. The other thing I need to say is don't check your blood pressure after eating this one! As always, be blessed, be safe, be good to each other, and tell everyone that every day is a GREAT day for Dub Shack BBQ!
