Seared, Smoked Shrimp Po'Boy

When you're asked "What's For Dinner?" tonight, here's how to bring a seared and smoky BBQ flavor to a Cajun favorite: the Shrimp Po'Boy Sandwich.
This cook includes:
🔥 Layering flavors with a base BBQ rub and a long-lingering rub that "pops"
🔥 How we double-skewer shrimp for easier handling and an even cook
🔥 Our method to prep and perfectly toast your buns
🔥 Hot and fast high-temp cooking on a wood pellet grill with the Smokin' Brothers SearStation
Our Shrimp Po'Boys are served sizzlin' hot and golden brown on toasted hoagies, covered in a homemade jalapeno slaw, and drizzled with a BBQ cocktail sauce. Feel free to follow along on the video with Brother Ryan and our good friend Marty Plute with Twisted Steel.
Ingredients:
-One bun per sandwich, we used a seeded hoagie.
-Peeled, de-veined shrimp. Enough to fill each sandwich, depending on size. (we used 6-7 per)
-A base BBQ rub: we used Smokin Brothers "Butt The Kitchen Sink."
-A flavor blast rub: Twisted Steel Steak Appeal
-Mayonnaise
-2 skewers per sandwich
-Duck Fat or similar spray
-Jalapeno slaw or a favorite traditional garnish
-BBQ Cocktail sauce (1/3 cup Junior's Jamacian sauce, 1tbsp horseradish)
Steps:
-Begin by ensuring shrimp are thawed, peeled, and deveined.
-Start your grill, set to 400°. This will heat your SearStation surface to over 500°.
-Open the buns and spread mayonnaise on both the top and bottom inside. Set aside.
-Spread your shrimp on foil or a similar surface. Sprinkle on base rub, then second rub. Flip, re-season, then mix them all together.
-Skewer each shrimp twice, once on the wider end and once on the thinner end. Leave a gap for even cooking.
-Fill each pair of skewers with enough shrimp to fill one sandwich.
-For extra flavor, dust lightly with seasoning one more time.
-Set the shrimp on your grill, or on your SearStation for extra high-temp cooking.
-Cook for 5 minutes, spritz with Duck Fat, and flip shrimp.
-At this time also add coated buns to the grill
-Cook the buns until they reach the level of "toasted" you like (3-5 minutes)
-After another 5 minutes or so check the shrimp look done and have turned a deep golden color
-To serve, put one skewer of shrimp into your buns, and top with your favorite slaw and a drizzle of BBQ Cocktail sauce.
From our family to your family, make it a great BBQ Day!
