Using Pellet Smoker Shrimp in Tantalizing Ways

While you can serve up your ginger grilled lemon shrimp as-is, the shrimp can be used in plenty of other recipes. In fact, barbecued shrimp from the wood pellet smoker grill has a place in any number of dishes.

Want some tips for using our ginger shrimp recipe as a basis for a delicious protein ingredient? Here are some ideas:

• Create your own Asian-inspired fish tacos featuring lemon-ginger grilled and smoked shrimp. They go beautifully when wrapped in a soft taco shell with crunchy bok choy shreds, carrot pieces and a nice peanut and soy sauce.
• Make enough extra grilled lemon shrimp to put on tomorrow’s lunch. Grilled shrimp will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least a day or two. They add character to homemade salads and improve the nutritional value of a lighter meal.
• Incorporate some grilled lemon shrimp into homemade macaroni and cheese off the smoker grill. The cheesy, mellow flavor of the mac and cheese pairs deliciously with the tangier barbecue shrimp.
• Cut up the shrimp and mix with mayonnaise, diced celery, sliced Vidalia onions and some extra lemon and ginger seasoning for a one-of-a-kind picnic salad or sandwich spread.
• Serve pellet smoker grilled shrimp on top of a seared steak. Consider them a protein-packed topper that everyone can enjoy.
