Smoked up some shrimp for New Year's Eve. Got 2 pounds of 26's, shelled them and left the tails on. Sprinked about 3 TBSP (a little too much) of a seasoning I got from winning a hockey game bet, that would normally be used in a crab cake recipe. I didn't have anything else mixed up and this was the closest I had. Put them in a bag to get acquainted with the rub for about 30 minutes.
Got the $5 Smokey Mountain going with charcoal and hickory chips for the fast 20 minute smoke. Temp got a little high (250 - wanted to be at 200), but checked them at 20 minutes and we looked good.
Tasted great, although as I mentioned before, I had a little too much seasoning on them, but they had a good smoke flavor. Served with seafood sauce, but they tasted fine without it. Fortunately, not too many got eaten (only two of the four of us do seafood), so I have plenty for lunch salads this week.
Sorry - no Q-view as I was crunched for time and didn't think about it. Will definitely do these again with a better fit on the rub.
