- 16 jumbo shrimp peeled, leave tail on
- 8 slices bacon halved, and precooked for 50% of the time (optional). See notes*
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Place the wood pellets in the bottom of the smoker. Add a layer of heavy-duty foil.
Wrap each peeled (tail-on) jumbo shrimp with half a piece of bacon and add a skewer to secure the bacon.
Mix the dry seasonings and sugar and then sprinkle them over the bacon-wrapped shrimp.
If using precooked bacon, add the cover to the smoker aim for 20-25 minutes at 225°F (110°C) for a light smoke and tender texture. Go for 30-35 minutes for a deeper smoke and crispier bacon- especially if you do not precook the bacon.
Turn off heat, carefully remove the smooker cover, and remove shrimp to plate.
Serve immediately with cocktail or chili sauce.
