CAJUN-SPICED GRILLED SHRIMP WITH REMOULADE

Steps:

• For the shrimp: Add the lemon juice, olive oil, Cajun spice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add the shrimp and toss to coat them in the spice mixture. Allow the shrimp to marinate while you make the remoulade. Do not marinate shrimp longer than 20 minutes.
• For the remoulade: Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, Cajun spice, ketchup, mustard, parsley, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a bowl and whisk to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the shrimp in an even layer. Allow the shrimp to cook for 2 minutes, then flip them and cook until they are just opaque and the tails are pink, about another minute. Remove the shrimp to a serving platter, garnish with parsley and lemon wedges and serve with remoulade.

GRILLED CAJUN SHRIMP

Steps:

• Rinse the shrimp under cold running water.
• Place the Old Bay seasoning, Cajun Rub, coriander, black peppercorns, and cayenne in a small bowl and stir to mix. Sprinkle the rub over the shrimp and toss to mix. Stir in the olive oil and the lemon juice and stir to mix. Let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for 1 hour.
• Thread shrimp onto skewers. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high. If using a gas grill, place all the wood chips or chunks in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch and run the grill on high until you see smoke. If using a charcoal grill, preheat it to high, then toss all of the wood chips or chunks on the coals. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the marinated shrimp on the hot grate and grill until just cooked through, 1 to 3 minutes per side. When done, the shrimp will turn a pinkish white and feel firm to the touch.
