Jeff Phillips over at Smoking-meat.com recently published a great technique for smoking shrimp. I'm a big shrimp fan so I had to try this out. I experimented with a pound of large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined. Those were tossed with a little olive oil and some rub. I used John Henry's Texas Pig Rub, which gave a great flavor to the shrimp.
The shrimp marinated for about an hour, placed in a foil pan with a half stick of melted butter, and thrown on the Yoder to smoke at 225 until they are pink. This a tell-tale sign the shrimp are done. This shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes so keep an eye on them. I love how these tasted with just a nice hint of smoke. Here's a few pictures of the process.
