By á-4922

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled, tail left on, deveined
• 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
• 1/4 tsp each of Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Toss shrimp in olive oil and spices 30 minutes prior to grilling and refrigerate.

Fire up grill, placing smoking chips in aluminum foil, leaving a few slits for steam to escape.

Grill shrimp for 4 minutes over direct high heat. Strongly suggest grilling in a metal basket to avoid sticking or burning.

Remove, let sit until reaching room temperature, then place in fridge for at least 2 hours to get chilled.

Serve with obnoxiously hot cocktail sauce. For Hoosiers, go to St. Elmo's and buy it there...simply the best.

Accept compliments graciously.
