Ingredients
- 2 lbs shell-on and head-on shrimp*
- 1-2 teaspoon neutral oil to apply to wire rack
- yogurt dill sauce
Instructions
- In advance make one recipe yogurt dill sauce and chill in the fridge.
- Set up your smoker as specified by the manufacturer's instructions and bring the temperature to 225-250F. Add your choice of wood chips as instructed by the manufacturer.
- Lightly oil a large wire rack that fits inside your smoker (or two smaller ones than can fit side by side). Set aside.
- Rinse the shrimp, blot dry them and arrange them onto the wire rack. Place inside the smoker. Smoke until the shrimp are firm to the touch and appear intensely orange colored with dark golden brown hues. Depending on the size of the shrimp this can take from 30 to 60 minutes. (Check them often.)
- Transfer the smoked shrimp (still on the wire rack) onto a baking sheet and enjoy immediately, served with the sauce. Alternatively - allow them to cool down, refrigerate and serve chilled.
Notes
*Consult the section above about what shrimp are best for smoking.
