Smoked Jumbo Shrimp

Smoked shrimp are easy to prepare and only take 20 minutes to smoke. I highly recommend using as large of shrimp as you can find with the shell on. The shell will add flavor and keep the shrimp moist. Smaller shrimp are easier to overcook. Wash your shrimp, pat dry, and season with your favorite spice blend. Once the shrimp start to turn pink around the 20 minute mark, pull them from the smoker. They are now ready to eat.
