Butter & Garlic Smoked Shrimp

At first glance, these butter and garlic smoked shrimp seem so simple and seemingly unexciting they can’t possibly be worth an entire recipe write-up about. Simple? Yes. Worth a recipe write-up about? Oh yes. If you have a smoker (or can borrow one for a hot minute) and you haven’t smoked shrimp on it, you are in for a treat. We developed this recipe with the idea that the results would require minimal effort but be huge on flavor. We must admit: we outdid ourselves. These smoked shrimp are a total homerun. With six super simple ingredients and a little time in the smoker (like seriously, six minutes tops) the most succulent, smoky, buttery shrimp are all yours.

While we have no shame in endorsing consuming an entire plate of smoked shrimp for dinner, your wallet might thank you for sharing the love and pairing these pink beauties with something carb-y and green-ish. If it’s summertime, make thick slices of grilled sourdough with salted butter and this heirloom tomato salad for accompaniments that require essentially no time in front of the stove. If you’re not feeling stove-averse, roasted potatoes or rice pilaf (both vehicles for welcomed smoky lemon and shrimp juices) would pair beautifully. And, though we haven’t done it yet, we can’t think of a single reason not to make shrimp cocktail using these smoked shrimp. We’ll be right over.
