  • 1 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • ½ tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Thyme
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • ½ tsp Basil

  • 1 ½ tblsp Sweet Relish
  • 4 Buns, sliced horizontally

Directions

  1. Make the Cajun seasoning by mixing together the paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, onion powder, thyme, oregano and basil. Set aside.
  2. Make the cajun mayo by mixing together the mayonnaise, relish and 1 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning.
  3. Set the Bradley Smoker to 106°C (225°F) using wood bisquettes of choice (Alder, Apple, and Pacific Blend work great).
  4. Toss the Shrimps/Prawns in the remaining Cajun Seasoning and place on a smoker rack and smoke until they turn pink. This can take 30-45 minutes, depending on their size.
  5. Assemble the Subs by spreading some of the cajun mayo in each bun and top with shrimp, tomatoes and lettuce.
  6. Serve and enjoy!

Variation:

Note: The shrimp in this recipe can easily be grilled instead of being smoked.

Heat grill to high heat. Toss the shrimp in the Cajun seasoning. Place the shrimp on the grill grate and cook for about 3 minutes. Flip and cook another 3 minutes or until done.

Ingredients

  • 8 slices bread of your choice
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened

  6. Place the bread, butter-side down onto the heated griddle, and butter the top slice of bread in the same way.
  7. Replace the dome lid
  8. Bake for another 3-4 minutes and flip these sandwiches
