Okay I am not going to lie, this idea is not my creation. We used to serve something like this at the Italian restaurant I work at and I loved it. They took it off of the menu years ago and I have been craving it. So I thought I would toss it on the smoker and share with you! This shrimp recipe is so good- you just MUST try it lol.

Ingredients Needed for This Smoked Shrimp Recipe

Stuffed shrimp ingredients
🦐 Large Raw Shrimp – You want big ones here so they can hold the cheese. Make sure they’re deveined and ready to go. I prefer tail on but tail off works, too.

🦐 Garlic & Herb Boursin Cheese – The star of the whole dish. It melts into the shrimp and gives that creamy, herby bite. You’ll divide the package for stuffing and optional dipping.

🦐 Prosciutto – Thin, salty, and perfect for wrapping. It crisps up slightly in the smoker and keeps all that cheese tucked inside.

🦐 SPG Seasoning – Just a simple mix of salt, pepper, and garlic, but it adds the perfect finishing touch.

🦐 Balsamic Glaze – A little drizzle at the end gives the shrimp a sweet-tangy finish that ties everything together. They sell cheap little bottles at most grocery stores.

How to Make Boursin Stuffed Shrimp on the Traeger

Step 1: Prep the shrimp. Go ahead and defrost your shrimp. I usually just put them in a bowl in the sink with cold water. Use a small, sharp knife to make a little slit down the back. Nothing fancy—just enough space to tuck in that creamy Boursin.

Step 2: Add the Boursin. Grab about 3 oz of the cheese and start stuffing! A small spoon works great here. Press it right into the slit so it stays put. It doesn’t have to be perfect—promise.

Step 3: Wrap in prosciutto. Now for the fun part. Slice your prosciutto into thin strips and wrap each shrimp like a little present. The prosciutto helps hold the cheese inside and adds that salty bite.

Step 4: Season and get it ready. Place all your wrapped shrimp into a small cast-iron pan or any baking dish you love. Give everything a light sprinkle of SPG seasoning. Just enough to wake everything up.

Step 5: Time to smoke. Pop the pan into your smoker set at 225°F. Let it go for 1 hour while the shrimp soak up all that smoky goodness. Seriously—your backyard is going to smell amazing.

Step 6: Add more cheese (if you want). If you’re in a cheesy mood, drop the rest of the Boursin right in the center of the pan during the last few minutes. Let it melt so everyone can scoop and dip.

Step 7: Finish it off. Once the shrimp are cooked through, pull them off the smoker and give them a drizzle of balsamic glaze. It’s the perfect sweet, tangy finish. Serve warm and enjoy every bite.

Additions & Substitutions

  • Not into prosciutto? Bacon works great and gets extra crispy.
  • Want more heat? Add red pepper flakes or Cajun seasoning before smoking.
  • Swap Boursin for any soft cheese you like — goat cheese or herb cream cheese both work.

Absolutely! Just follow the instructions and then bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes depending on the size of your shrimp.
