Garlic Butter Smoked Shrimp
This smoked shrimp is one of the quickest meals you can make in your smoker. It's ready in just 30 minutes. These shrimp are lightly seasoned to let the smoke flavor shine, but add more seasoning if desired. Because of the short smoke time, feel free to use a stronger-flavored wood such as hickory or mesquite. Serve with cheesy grits, rice, atop a salad, or as an appetizer with a remoulade sauce.
Dog Food Dip
This "dog food" dip recipe was given to me by a co-worker some 15 or more years ago. She made it for potlucks at work, and it was always gone from the nurse's station before the rest of the food was put out! It's a simple mixture of beef, cheese, and jalapeños but it should always be made a day in advance to allow the flavors to blend. Serve with your favorite corn chips.
Caramel Apple Bundt Cake
To make this caramel apple Bundt cake, first make a homemade caramel sauce, which you then incorporate into the batter and use as a topping! You'll probably have extra sauce, but no worries—it's great on ice cream, too!
