Green Lightning Shrimp

[Smoking Piney]

I'm cooking for a pot luck "Worksgiving" in the office tomorrow. So, I decided to do my favorite shrimp cook - Steve Raichlen's Green Lighning Shrimp. I've cooked it before and it's fantastic.

Its a marinade of cilantro, jalapeno peppers, scallions, garlic, cumin, lime juice and olive oil blended in a food processor and poured over the skewered shrimp and allowed to get happy in the fridge for a half hour before grilling.

I grilled these on the BGE with some cherry chips for smoke. My Quality Assurance sample verified that these shrimp rock. :-D

Hope to see these disappear quickly tomorrow at lunch. :-D

Ooo dang! That looks yummy. I'm the only one in the house that eats shrimp so usually I don't do anything fancy with them, but this might just make me change that!
