Not your traditional surf and turf - lamb shoulder and shrimp.

Went freezer diving and came out with a boneless lamb shoulder.  Thawed it, and seasoned the inside with a smear of chili paste, garlic, paprika, oregano, marjoram, cayenne, salt and pepper.


I then trussed it, and rubbed it with all the same except the chili paste. Then I wrapped and placed in the fridge for a 6 hour set. 




Put on the egg with a small chunk of cherry. 




While that cooked at 275F for about an hour, we had a bit of cheese as an appetizer as we played cards. 



When the temp was 125 I pulled it off and opened up the vents, then seared raised direct.


Once that was off, the shrimp went on. Soaked in butter, then cayenne, salt, pepper, garlic, and smoked paprika. 


Then it was time to cut the roast and plate. Served with a slice of homemade bread my wife made and a bottle of young Malbec. 


Stay healthy everyone!!

    Love me some lamb and that looks great.  That paste concoction sounds like a winner.  Congrats on a great cook.
    BTW-last time I tried trussing SWMBO said I had to go back to tying up...IDK.   =)

    Your cook looks great. I have never been successful cooking lamb. I need to give it at least one more try.

    I was going to say that the lamb needed more garlic, but then stopped when I read about the shrimp “soaked in butter “. 

    Nicely done!

    I'm overdue in cooking a good hunk of lamb. But with the shrimp, brilliant!

    Thanks. It was a winner for sure.  I was tossing back and forth if I should go on the rare side, or ride it out to pulling temp.  I went with a lower temp obviously. There was some chew, but it was not tough.  The rub worked out well.  The chili paste and cayenne kicked up the heat, but not too much.

    There was no shortage of garlic in this meal.  While some of the larger pieces you could easily see, there was a lot of minced which got hidden.  Also, the wrap and set allowed the garlic in the center to permeate the meat and since it never got really hot, it never lost its “bite. 
    There was plenty. And like many here, I rarely say that about garlic.
