Smoked Nutty-Coconut Garlic & Onion Shrimp

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb. large uncooked shrimp (16 - 20)
• 1/4 cup butter (I used 57% less fat Promise sticks)
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1/4 cup coconut (finely shredded)
• 1 Tablespoon minced onions
• 1 Tablespoon garlic powder

Preparation

1. Rinse shrimp and remove the entire shell, (including the tail), and place these into a bowl.
2. Melt the butter and pour over the shrimp to coat.
3. Crush the walnuts so they are very fine pieces. I put the walnut pieces into a ziploc baggie and used a rolling pin.
4. Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly in a bowl and place them on a plate for coating the shrimp. Coat the shrimp with a generous amount of the mixture and place into a container.
5. Get your smoker set up and bring it up to 250° F. (Note: I used apple wood for this!) Once settled in at temperature, place the shrimp on a grill screen, or something similar, and place into the smoker. Maintain the 250° F temperature and cook for 20 minutes. Check them at 15 minutes. They should be getting very close to being done.
