  • Jan,
    peel em, skewer em, brush a little olive oil on em. ..sprinkle a litte old bay, or dizzy tsunami spin, or dizzy jamaican fire walk (if you want em spicy) or any other rub of your choice... grill em direct at around 400 degrees dome temp for just a couple of minutes per side. ..then eat em!! . . .[p]easy peasy

  • In my opinion, shrimp is the easiest thing to cook on the egg. I get the egg up to about 350-375 and cook the shrimp in a grill wok...basically a wok with holes in it...or a grill basket. Just be sure not to overcook the shrimp...when they turn pink they are done.[p]The recipe below is outstanding and not really as involved as it appears. There are only a couple of things most people don't have in their fridge/pantry. Also, in place of lime juice I use key lime juice. Makes them a little more tart.[p]I get a pound of the 31-35 count shrimp to feed two people...if that helps your shopping list.

    <p />Jan,
    Peel. I use Wishbone Italian Dressing, a little pure mayple syrup and cayenne pepper to taste.[p]Skew, about 3 minutes a sides at 300. Depends a lot on size.
    These were cooked indirect on the small.[p]Mike

    Jan,[p]Last week I cooked 1-1 1/2 lbs of 30 count white shrimp. I peeled & deveined them. I cooked bacon until it was half way done. I let the bacon cool & wrapped 1/2 piece of bacon around each shrimp. I put about 5 of these on each skewer. [p]I got my BGE up to 325 degrees direct. I put a little DizzY Dust on each piece and basted with Italian Dressing. I cooked them for 2-3 minutes per side. These were delicious. [p]Kim Youngblood

    Jan,
    I butterfly them, stuff with a strip of jalapenos, and jack cheese and wrap with some par-cooked bacon.[p]6903633f.jpg[p]On a 350 egg for about five minutes per side and you got some good eats.[p]2006_06116_13Food0008.jpg[p]A real pain in the butt to prepare, but the reward is worth the effort.[p]

    Jan,[p]This is my favorite shrimp recipe as the glaze contains perhaps my favorite all-time ingredient: rum! (I use the Capitain, of course). This is Steven Raichlen's recipe, but it appeared on BBQ with Bobby Flay. Great stuff, and it's what I'll be making this weekend for Surf 'n' Turf Boyz Poker Night (along with a 5lb hickory smoked rib roast). I just use bamboo skewers rather than the sugar cane the recipe calls for (though I bet the sugar cane would make 'em even more delish). [p][p]
