These shrimp are about to take a buttery ride into flavor town. We toss jumbo shrimp in our Q-Nami Rub, melt down a stick of butter with garlic, squeeze in a quarter lemon, and let rosemary do its thing while we smoke at 275°F for 20–25 minutes. The result? Shrimp with actual orange glow, smoky edges, and a buttery garlic punch. Quick, easy, and guaranteed to vanish fast—because good food waits for no one.

Shrimp evening just leveled up. We’re talking big-shrimp energy seasoned with our signature Q-Nami Rub, bathed in melted butter + garlic, kissed by lemon, and kissed again by smoke. All done in under 30 minutes. Whether you’re hosting friends or just treating yourself, this is the kind of dish that makes everyone pause mid-bite and say “Whoa—what is this?” Spoiler: it’s pure Lane’s joy.

Recipe Note
- Oven Notes - You can do this recipe in the oven, you will lose the smokey flavor. Use a glass baking dish - oven to 350 - for about 10 - 13 minutes or so.
- Note - The prime internal temp for shrimp to be done is 120 degrees. It will have a firm bite and will be orange. Going too much over that temp can turn them rubbery to the bite.

Hey Jennifer! Thanks for the question. These can be done on a gas grill. They wouldn’t have the full smokey flavor but the recipe will still work fine for them. If your grill has a smoker box you can use that as well. If not, you can place dried wood chips in a foil pan covered with aluminum foil. Poke holes in the foil to allow the smoke to escape. You would want to place the pan probably in a back corner or off to the side on the bars over an unlit burner. This will help give a smokey flavor to them.

Can these be made on a regular gas grill?
