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.

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
3 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon capers, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon creole mustard
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
2 hard-cooked large eggs
cooking spray

Steps:

Soak wood chips in water 1 hour; drain.
To prepare shrimp, combine paprika and the next 9 ingredients (through red pepper). Combine olive oil and shrimp in a bowl, and toss to coat. Sprinkle shrimp with rub, and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
To prepare rémoulade, combine mayonnaise and the next 10 ingredients (through garlic) in a medium bowl. Remove yolks from eggs; discard yolks or reserve for another use. Finely chop egg whites, and stir into mayonnaise mixture. Cover; chill.
Remove grill rack, and set aside. Prepare the grill for indirect grilling, heating one side to high and leaving one side with no heat. Pierce the bottom of a disposable aluminum foil pan several times with the tip of a knife. Place pan on heat element on heated side of grill; add wood chips to pan. Let wood chips stand for 15 minutes or until smoking; reduce heat to medium. Coat grill rack with cooking spray; place on grill. Place shrimp in a grilling skillet; place skillet on grill rack over unheated side. Cover and grill 15 minutes or until shrimp are done, stirring after 7 minutes. Serve with rémoulade.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 tablespoons lemon juice, from 1 lemon
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons Cajun spice
Kosher salt
1 pound large shrimp (10 to15 per pound), peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons Cajun spice
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Kosher salt

Steps:

For the shrimp: Add the lemon juice, olive oil, Cajun spice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add the shrimp and toss to coat them in the spice mixture. Allow the shrimp to marinate while you make the remoulade. Do not marinate shrimp longer than 20 minutes.
For the remoulade: Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, Cajun spice, ketchup, mustard, parsley, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a bowl and whisk to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the shrimp in an even layer. Allow the shrimp to cook for 2 minutes, then flip them and cook until they are just opaque and the tails are pink, about another minute. Remove the shrimp to a serving platter, garnish with parsley and lemon wedges and serve with remoulade.

Tips:

To devein the shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail. Remove the black vein and discard it.
If you don't have a smoker, you can bake the shrimp in a preheated oven at 200°C for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
For a spicier dish, increase the amount of cayenne pepper in the Cajun seasoning.
If you don't have time to make the remoulade sauce, you can serve the shrimp with a store-bought tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.
Serve the shrimp with lemon wedges and a side of your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Cajun Spiced Smoked Shrimp with Remoulade is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and the remoulade sauce is a perfect complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
