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.

CAJUN-SPICED SMOKED SHRIMP WITH RéMOULADE

Cajun-Spiced Smoked Shrimp With Rémoulade image

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.

CAJUN-SPICED SMOKED SHRIMP WITH REMOULADE

Cajun-Spiced Smoked Shrimp With Remoulade image

I love to grill and love my smoked pulled pork. Also love shrimp. This combines smoke with shrimp. I like to use a grilling skillet, but feel free to use skewers. Adapted from a Steven Raichlen recipe. Prep time does not include the time to soak the wood chips. Shrimp marinating time is included in prep time.

Tips:

Choose fresh, large shrimp. Smaller shrimp will overcook and become tough.
Use a good quality Cajun seasoning. This will give the shrimp a delicious, smoky flavor.
Don't overcrowd the smoker. If the shrimp are too close together, they will not cook evenly.
Smoke the shrimp until they are cooked through. This will take about 20 minutes.
Make the remoulade sauce while the shrimp are smoking. This will give the flavors time to develop.
Serve the shrimp with the remoulade sauce and your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Cajun spiced smoked shrimp with remoulade is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The shrimp are perfectly cooked and the remoulade sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
