chainsmoker,
I guess it depends on the size of shrimp... I did a bunch of 31-40's (# of shrimp in a lb) the other night on skewers. [p]First... I tossed them in oil with a little salt, pepper, parika, and fresh minced garlic.... let them sit in fridge for about 30 min. Put them on skewers with shells still on and cooked them for 2.5 minutes a side (shells still on) at 400 to 450 degrees. Came out perfect. I didn't use smoke but put them on after some burgers so there was a little burger smoke leftover.. overall I felt the lump gave enough smoke/ grilled flavor for me.[p]They came out great.. if you use bigger shrimp I would add a little bit to the cook time but not too much... shrimp cook quick.[p]Good eatin...

chainsmoker,[p]Shrimp done right are not overcooked. It is a delicate balance between shrimp size, beginning temp, and egg temp, When I cook shrimp, (low contry boil, smoke, or grill) I taste as I go as to not overcook. I will begn tasting the shrimp when they turn pink. You may be able to feel them and as they get firm they are done, just remember, it is a fine line and they continue to cook after they are removed from the heat. Because of this I have a difficult time feeling the shrimp to determine doneness. I like the taste of a medium shrimp (20/lb) as opposed to a large (15/lb) or extra large (10/lb) size. That said it is easier to cook the larger shrimp because it is more difficult to overcook the larger size. Anyway, peel the shrimp, skewer them w/ bamboo soaked in water, marinade in olive oil, chili sauce, Louisana Hot sauce, galic, onion, crushed red pepper, lemon juice, lime juice, a shot of tequilla, and whatever else you like. Grill them till they are almost done @ 300 degrees w/ mild smoke til done. Make alot and call me, I will gladly help eat them

chainsmoker,
I grill the medium ones.
Remove the heads and shell, leaving the tail.
Put them in a zip-lock bag and add enough "Jamaican Firewalk" to lightly coat while you shake the bag.
Go build a hot fire, I mean hot!
put the shrimp on the grill (you can use skewers, makes 'em easier to turn) for about 10 to 15 minutes, flip 'em over and grill for about another 5 minutes. Don't overcook.[p]Nice and crispy coating, spicy taste and *might* even make you forget about ABT's for a while.[p]BOB
(I said might)
