Prawns
Prawns are crustaceans similar to shrimp, but they’re a little bit different (it has to do with the number of overlapping plates on their scales, if you want to get technical). That said, the names are used pretty much interchangeably. To me, prawns are a little meatier and sweeter, so if you can get your hands on some, great. If not, substitute the best jumbo shrimp you can find. Serve these over a bed of wild rice, if you like.

Preparation
Step 1
Heat a smoker to 350˚F.
Step 2
Apply the rub to the prawns and place them on skewers. Place the skewers in a large aluminum pan, put the pan in the smoker, and cook for 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the prawns are cooking, combine the lemon juice, hickory sauce, honey, and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring the sauce almost to a boil, and then take the pan off the heat.
Step 4
Brush the prawns with the sauce, and serve.
