Steps:

• Place shrimp in a resealable plastic bag. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and drizzle with olive oil. Toss shrimp around in the bag to evenly distribute seasoning. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Add wood chips according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Place butter in a microwave-safe dish and cook on high until completely melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in lemon peel, garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
• Arrange shrimp in even rows in a 8x10-inch aluminum pan. Place thyme sprigs between each row. Drizzle butter mixture over shrimp.
• Place in the preheated smoker and cook shrimp until firm and orange-pink in color, about 30 minutes. The internal temperature should be 120 degrees F (49 degrees C), about 30 minutes. Do not overcook as the shrimp will become rubbery. Serve immediately.

GARLICKY SMOKED SHRIMP

Steps:

• For the bbq sauce: Simmer the apple cider in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, mustard, sugar, Worcestershire, paprika and dry mustard. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 30 minutes.
• For the shrimp: Place the shrimp in a resealable plastic bag. Combine the oil, parsley, sherry, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, garlic and shallots in a spouted measuring cup. Pour the mixture over the shrimp. Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Place in the refrigerator and marinate, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Sprinkle the oak sawdust chips over the center of the bottom of the smoker and put the rack in place. Remove the shrimp from the wet mixture, do not dry, and place on the rack. Close the lid of the smoker and turn the heat to medium. Smoke the shrimp until fully cooked and pink in color, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and serve with the BBQ sauce for dipping.

SHRIMP AND SAUSAGE KABOBS

Steps:

• Heat the grill. Preheat your grill to 450 degrees F for direct grilling.
• Make the kabobs. Right before you assemble your kabobs, drizzle the meat and veggies with olive oil and season with the Creole or Cajun seasoning. Assemble your skewers by alternating the peppers, onions, mushrooms, shrimp, and sausage on the skewer. You should have enough ingredients to make 6-8 kabobs (depending on the length of your skewers).
• Cook the kabobs. Place the assembled kabobs on the grill grates and close the lid. Cook for 8-10 minutes. Turn your skewers every 3-4 minutes, until the shrimp is fully opaque, the sausage is cooked through, and the vegetables are cooked to the tenderness you like.
• Serve hot. Remove the kabobs from the grill and serve immediately.
