How to cook deliciously - Garlic Butter Smoked Shrimp

1. Stage

Place shrimp in a resealable plastic bag. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and drizzle with olive oil; toss shrimp around in the bag to evenly distribute seasoning. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

2. Stage

Preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Add wood chips according to manufacturer's instructions.

3. Stage

Place butter in a microwave-safe dish and cook on high until completely melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in lemon peel, garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.

4. Stage

Arrange shrimp in even rows in an 8x10-inch aluminum pan. Place thyme sprigs between each row. Drizzle butter mixture over shrimp.

5. Stage

Place in the preheated smoker and cook shrimp until firm and orange-pink in color, about 30 minutes. Try not to overcook as the shrimp will become rubbery. Serve immediately.
