CAJUN-SPICED SMOKED SHRIMP WITH RéMOULADE

Cajun-Spiced Smoked Shrimp With Rémoulade image

This recipe was in the August 2011 issue of Cooking Light. I made it for my family and boyfriend, and everyone loved it. I didn't have a smoker, so I just skipped using the wood chips and grilled the shrimp, which worked fine.

1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
3 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon capers, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon creole mustard
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
2 hard-cooked large eggs
cooking spray

Steps:

Soak wood chips in water 1 hour; drain.
To prepare shrimp, combine paprika and the next 9 ingredients (through red pepper). Combine olive oil and shrimp in a bowl, and toss to coat. Sprinkle shrimp with rub, and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
To prepare rémoulade, combine mayonnaise and the next 10 ingredients (through garlic) in a medium bowl. Remove yolks from eggs; discard yolks or reserve for another use. Finely chop egg whites, and stir into mayonnaise mixture. Cover; chill.
Remove grill rack, and set aside. Prepare the grill for indirect grilling, heating one side to high and leaving one side with no heat. Pierce the bottom of a disposable aluminum foil pan several times with the tip of a knife. Place pan on heat element on heated side of grill; add wood chips to pan. Let wood chips stand for 15 minutes or until smoking; reduce heat to medium. Coat grill rack with cooking spray; place on grill. Place shrimp in a grilling skillet; place skillet on grill rack over unheated side. Cover and grill 15 minutes or until shrimp are done, stirring after 7 minutes. Serve with rémoulade.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp that are deveined and peeled.
If you don't have Cajun seasoning, you can make your own by combining 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt.
To grill the shrimp, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
The remoulade sauce is a great complement to the grilled shrimp. To make the remoulade, simply combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped pickles, chopped green onions, chopped parsley, and a dash of cayenne pepper.
Serve the grilled shrimp with the remoulade sauce, and enjoy!
