    Pork Shoulder. Dry rubbed (for lack of fancy recipe: equal parts salt, pepper, sugar, paprika). Indirect for approx 7-9 hours depending on weight, 275deg(dome).
    Baste during last two hours. Sauce can be home made, bottled bbq, or mix red wine-coffee-ketchup.
    I like to chop instead of pull.

    I love the center cut porkchops. I have them cut two inches thick then make pockets and stuff them with fresh and dried fruit stuffing. I first get the grill at 600 for the grate markings, about 3 minutes per side and then drop the temp to 450 and cook until medium about 145. If guests will allow let stand for 5 minutes.

    For the stuffing I use a half of apple, cored but not peeled, a handful or raisins, dried cranberries, appricots and pecans and a dash of nutmeg. Add juice from a whole lime an place in a blender or food proccesor for about 10 pulses. This will serve 3 or four and adds a nice sweetness to the chop.

    here you go these are super easy and good:

    Shrimp, Spicy, AZRP


    1 lb 15 ct shrimp, peeled to the last section leaving the tail for a handle, butter flied
    2 Clove Garlic, minced
    1 Tbs Kosher salt
    1 tsp Paprika
    1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
    2 tsp Lemon juice
    2 Tbs Olive oil



    These shrimp are really killer. The recipe comes from a Mark Bittman cook book, and about the only thing you can do wrong with it is to over cook the shrimp, or try to use ones that are too small and they fall through the grid. I use the frozen U-15 ones from Sam's club. Take 1 Tbs of kosher salt and 2 garlic cloves (minced) and mash them into a paste with the side of your knife or a mortar and pestal (easier). Add to that paste 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp cayenne pepper, 2 tsp lemon juice, and 2 Tbs olive oil. Thaw and peel the shrimp, all but the tail section, for a handle. Butterfly them by cutting down the back halfway through the shrimp. If they have a vein remove it now. Mix the shrimp with the marinade then grill direct. Go about 2 minutes on the first side at about 400 dome, when they start to curl up, flip them and watch until they curl fairly tight and remove immediately. Some of them won't curl tight but you can pretty much tell when they are done, don't overcook! Let them rest for a few minutes and enjoy. -RP

    Terry, the general consensus is that should be 1 tsp of salt, not 1 Tbs. I did them at numerous fests with the 1 Tbs and never had a complaint, but when the recipe got out and people were making a meal out of them instead of just a sample taste, they are way too salty. -RP

    We had 1lb.= 14 shrimp. With five people for dinner, they did not last long enough for cocktail sauce. LOL

    Oriental Marinated pork chops.

    Marinade:

    1/2 cup soy
    1/4 cup oil
    1 teaspoon sesame oil
    2 tablespoons rice vinegar
    1 teaspoon minced garlic
    fresh ground pepper
    juice from one lemon
    1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger, or 1 teaspoon fresh

    Thick cut chops, pierced a few times with the Jaccard. Overnight in fridge or at least four hours in vacuum dish. Hot tubbed to warm them up. Cook at 300 indirect till 135-140 (about 20 minutes). Wrap in foil and towel ala "The Chicken for 20 minutes. Tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The sesame oil and rice vinegar really make these stand out. This is enough for two or three chops, about an inch thick.
