Apply generous coating of the rub to the shrimp and allow to rest, at least 20 minutes.
Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640 (or other grill) to 325°F. Place the shrimp on a FrogMat on the grill. Grill to an internal temperature of 145°F (check the temperature using an instant read thermometer like the Maverick PT-75). Corn tortillas can be heated on the grill.
