New Orleans BBQ Shrimp

Instructions

  • Preheat. Preheat smoker to 275 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in seasonings. Place the butter, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, bay leaves, blackened seasoning, the sliced whites of the green onions, and the lemon juice and zest into a 12 inch cast iron skillet. Set the skillet into the preheated smoker, close the lid, and cook, stirring occasionally, until all of the butter is melted, about 15 minutes.
  • Cook the shrimp. Once the butter is all melted, carefully add the shrimp to the pan and give a gentle stir to coat the shrimp in the liquid. Close the lid and cook for approximately 30 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and read 145 degrees F internal temperature. You will need to open the lid and stir approximately every 5 minutes during the cooking process.
  • Serve hot. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the smoker, top with the greens of the sliced green onions and serve right out of the pan. I recommend serving with additional lemon wedges and a loaf of crusty bread or on a bed of rice.
