Smoky Sweet Pepper Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• 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.
• Preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Add wood chips according to manufacturer's instructions.
• 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.
• Arrange shrimp in even rows in a 8x10-inch aluminum pan. Place thyme sprigs between each row. Drizzle butter mixture over shrimp.
• Place in the preheated smoker and cook shrimp until firm and orange-pink in color, about 30 minutes. The internal temperature should be 120 degrees F (49 degrees C), about 30 minutes. Do not overcook as the shrimp will become rubbery. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt butter in large skillet on low heat. Add shrimp.
• Cook and stir on medium heat 5 minutes or just until shrimp turn pink.
• Stir in Seasoning Blend and wine or broth until shrimp are well coated.
• Serve with cooked rice and garnish with lemon wedges, if desired.
• Cooking time does not include the rice.

Steps:

• Soak the wooden skewers in cold water for at least 30 minutes before using.
• Arrange one rack in the center and one rack in the upper third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
• Make the sauce: Add ¼ cup (60 ml) sweet chili sauce, the honey, soy sauce, lime juice, liquid smoke, and garlic to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
• Build the skewers: Onto each wooden skewer, thread 1 piece of bell pepper, 2-3 pieces of red onion, 1 shrimp, and 1 piece of mango. Repeat to make a second layer. Continue with the remaining ingredients and skewers.
• Arrange the skewers on a rimmed baking sheet and season on both sides with the salt and pepper. Brush both sides of the skewers with the smoky sweet chili sauce.
• Transfer to the center oven rack and bake for 5 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and move the pan to the upper rack. Broil for 3-5 minutes, until lightly charred in spots.
• Remove the skewers from the oven and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with the cilantro, and serve with lime wedges alongside.
• Enjoy!
