Any shrimp scampi recipes out there? Potatoes?

Car Wash Mike

Going to try yukon gold RR potatoes. Indirect at 400 until done sound okay?[p]I know someone has a good shrimp scampi recipe lurking out there.[p]CWM

Chef Wil

Car Wash Mike,
try this:
1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup butter, 3 cloved garlic, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and cayenne to taste but use all 4 for flavor, add a pinch each of oregano and thyme. Place all ingredients in skillet and cook on low for about 5 minutes. Cook your shrimp on the egg using lump and which wood flavor you prefer ( apple is good ). Cook your shrimp untill they are 3/4 done ( depending the size of your shrimp and not more than about 3 minutes for large shrimp ) Toss shrimp in skillet and saute for about 1 minute to incorporate all flavors. Finish dish with chopped green onions and parsley. Serve over linguine or with a good crusty bread.
Make certain you put the shrimp on the grill COLD so they absorb some egg flavor.HTH.

Chef Wil,[p]Thanks Wil and good to see posting a little more. I think I'm going to go w/o the cayenne as I cook a lot of shrimp with Italian Dressing, maple syrup and cayenne pepper.[p]CWM

<p />Prolly too late Mike, but I been swamped to the gills with work, chores, and fires to put out. [p]The raging river tater slices should work okay at 400 indirect, but I prefer them direct over the fire. The link below might help.[p]Have fun!

Nature Boy,
Ok - I know what we're having for dinner tomorrow night! These look incredible. Starch is my favortie food group (stupid atkins diet)! Can't wait!

Nature Boy,[p]Wife said best dang taters ever. I think the direct will be better.
Cooked my little girl a sweet tater with butter and brown sugar. Man I wanted to get it from her but that would not be nice.
You out of rubs or can I turn an order in?[p]CWM

Car Wash Mike,
The wife's opinion is what really matters in the end. Right?[p]The mill is in operation, and the spices are always flowing. Orders going out purty quick still. [p]Having trouble (quality control issues) with my first big label printing order. These are gonna be cool, and they will have barcodes and nutritional info! But the printer is screwing with me, and sent me a bunch of unsatisfactory labels. Haggling with them as I type. A whole bunch of wasted paper as far as I am concerned.[p]That kinda stuff will make you feel as old as the 44 I just turned. On a positive note, I got notification that the Dizzy Pig logo is now officially (after almost 2 years) a registered trademark.[p]But for now, the Dizzy spice presses are still running, but with the same ol' inkjet labels. [p]Cheers to you, your wife, and Kaleigh!

Eggsellent,
They are really good, and the simplicity makes them even better. Almost fried.[p]Have fun!

Car Wash Mike,
best shrimp is "pickeled shrimp" second best would be marinate in zesty italian or similar then skewer thru first section behind the head, grill over med to hot fire. feel free to baste as you see fit. try not to overcook.
serve with garlic butter (melted and simmered).[p]obtw, try the shrimp legs i know most people are hesitant but the flavor is 10 times that of the flesh.

Car Wash Mike,
My wife makes a killer scampi. We haven't done any of it on the egg, but Chef Will's idea of cooking the shrimp over apple wood sounds really good.
Here is another variation of the scampi sauce, sorry I don't have measurements, she does it all by taste.[p]Heat a skillet and add
Olive Oil
3-5 cloves crushed garlic
FRESH basil leaves
salt and a little pepper
lemon/lime juice
deglaze with Pinot Grigio wine
add shrimp that were smoked over apple wood in the BGE
then once shrimp are almost cooked, add a cup or so of diced Roma tomatoes.[p]Serve over a good pasta. Very simple, very good, and I think the apple smoked shrimp would kick it up even more.
Maybe I'll try this next time.[p]
