Grilled Shrimp

Directions

• Prep Your Outdoor Electric Grill
• For Grilled Shrimp, put 1½ Tablespoons wood pellets in the smoker tube. Evenly distribute the pellets so that they are in a single layer in the tube.
• Uncover grill. Plug into the outlet and press Reset, Test, and Reset again on the cord’s safety device.
• Place the smoker tube toward the back of the grill, close the lid, and preheat for 25 minutes on High.
• Prep the Shrimp
• Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling.
• Slide both the shrimp head and tail ends onto stainless steel (or soaked wood) skewers. Shrimp should touch, but not be pressed tightly together.
• Place skewers on a sheet pan and spray and brush both sides of the shrimp with canola oil.
• Sprinkle fish seasoning on both sides.
• Grill the Shrimp
• After your outdoor electric grill has preheated, place the skewers on the grill. Keep the lid closed unless you are turning the food.
• Grill on High Heat for 3 minutes.
• Turn over wearing a grill glove.
• Grill for about 2 minutes until shrimp are completely white and opaque, not gray or shiny.
• Immediately serve your grilled shrimp over rice or cheese grits or on shrimp tacos.
• Clean Your Outdoor Electric Grill
• After removing the Grilled Shrimp, close your outdoor electric grill lid and leave it on High for 10 minutes.
• Turn the grill off. Leave the lid closed for at least 10 minutes or until you are ready to clean the grill.
• While the grill is still warm, brush the grill grate with a stainless steel grill brush.
• Leave the lid open to let the grill cool down and wood pellets burn out.
• Lift the grates and use a plastic putty knife to lightly scrape debris from the bottom of them and the lower bowl through the hole into the drip pan.
• Wipe the grates and the inside of the lid with a dry paper towel to remove any remaining loose debris.
• Remove the aluminum foil drip pan liner.
• Careful to make sure the smoker tube is cool, empty ash from the smoker tube into the drip pan liner. Place a small amount of water on the ash in the pan to ensure the ash is wet and cold.
• Wipe the drip pan out with a paper towel into a trash can and wash it with hot water and soap. Dry and return to grill.
• Unplug the grill and replace the cover.
