Hey all,
Smoking some shrimp later today.
Any tips on wood and also how much smoke to hit it with?

Anyone care to have a recap of my smoked shrimp experience.
I'd rather not bore the forum.

Absolutely:  love seeing/hearing about the little crustaceans taking a smoke bath.

So what wood did you decide on? I like pecan for most everything.

What a tease:  he threw this out there, I responded yes, and then r2 (minus d2) bailed.  Left us hanging, boys:  guess I'll just have to guilt him into something.

Lessee if that flushes him out of the weeds....

Honestly all, the shrimp was fantastic!
I used a basterized version of Jeff's recipe.

Thanks for looking.

BTW cook time was 45 minutes

Did those taste as good as they looked?  Nice effort:  sometimes, simpler is better.  Italian flat leaf parsley/cilantro chopped in there also?

 

[r2 builders]

Parsley yes Cilantro no.

No BS they tasted amazing!

BTW I should mention each pan got a full stick of butter.

So you were holding out on us.  Didn't say a word about some scampi type thing going on:  what else do we have to drag out of you??

Thanks all.
I was happy with results
BTW Missy (my wife) says add much more fresh garlic and I obviously can't disagree.
