This recipe was in the August 2011 issue of Cooking Light. I made it for my family and boyfriend, and everyone loved it. I didn't have a smoker, so I just skipped using the wood chips and grilled the shrimp, which worked fine.

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons cajun seasoning (I used Kickin' Cajun Seasoning Mix)
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

In a bowl, combine oil and seasoning mixture. Add shrimp; toss until well coated.
Thread shrimp onto two metal skewers or soaked wooden skewers.Reserve remaining oil. Grill for 2 minutes. Turn shrimp; baste with remaining oil. Grill 1-2 minutes longer or until shrimp turn pink.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
To make sure the shrimp are cooked evenly, skewer them before grilling. This will also help prevent them from falling through the grates.
Don't overcook the shrimp! They should be cooked just until they turn pink and opaque.
The remoulade sauce is a great way to add flavor and creaminess to the shrimp. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for other dishes, such as fried fish or vegetables.
If you don't have any remoulade sauce, you can make your own by combining mayonnaise, Creole mustard, chopped pickles, and chopped onions.
