Smoked Shrimp Boil

A shrimp boil on the smoker takes this classic low-country dish to new heights. Everything cooks together in foil packets, absorbing smoke while staying moist. It's a complete meal with minimal cleanup.

This is perfect for casual gatherings, beach-house dinners, or any time you want a festive, communal meal. Spread newspaper on the table and let everyone dig in.

Serve with melted butter, lemon wedges, and hot sauce. Cocktail sauce for the shrimp is nice too. Crusty bread helps soak up the buttery juices. Cold beer is the mandatory beverage.

Old Bay is traditional but you can customize the seasonings. Layer the ingredients by cooking time - potatoes first, then sausage, then corn, then shrimp so everything finishes together.

Everything cooks in foil packets which capture the smoke while steaming the ingredients. The shrimp go in last since they cook fastest. When the shrimp are pink and the potatoes are tender, it's ready.
