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.
Hope to see these disappear quickly tomorrow at lunch.

Re: Green Lightning Shrimp

As spicy as you want them. Just depends on the amount of jalapenos and seed you want to add. I put 3 peppers in this seeded and deveined. You can barely taste the heat. Still tasted great!

Re: Green Lightning Shrimp
Thanks for the reminder, been making those for 15-18 years. Never any heat issues but I take the seeds out, super easy to do. Might try a different pepper sometime but its so good this way I hate to mess up a batch lol
