Not strange you say.
Ok, smoked in a contraption I built after watching AB's segment on that All-Star Grilling show. I have been planning on doing this but couldn't locate a large stainless steel bowl to sacrifice. Then last week it finally came to me... I knew exactly how to pull this off!And to honor the occasion, I filmed my first attempt at smoking in my new creation.
So there you have it my version of AB's bowl smoked shrimp. And what an awesome little smoker it is!
The shrimp used for this were smaller than the jumbo ones Alton used. Mine were medium. I brined them for about 30 minutes with quart of water, 1/4 cup of salt, 1/4 cup of sugar and a tablespoon of Old Bay.
They are quite tasty by the way. Smoky. Almost like bacon, but not ;) If that makes sense.I will certainly be using my new little smoker for the rest of the summer. Maybe smoke some salmon. I do love smoked salmon (if I can find any not from China). Or rainbow trout! Yeah, rainbow trout!

That, my dear, is made of awesome.
Nice work, Lisa! What kind of wood did you use? I've smoked shrimp with alder chips before -- yum.
Thanks for watching my craziness ;)
I used mesquite
Brilliant, Lisa! :D
I've smoked shrimp with hickory and applewood. They're good eating with a little melted butter or tarter sauce, but I also love to use the smoked shrimp in shrimp and grits, chowders and other dishes.
Now... have you ever smoked potatoes to use in potato salad? That's good too! And, smoked sweet onions are great on pizza. Yum, yum!
