SOUTHERN PICKLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Cook the shrimp: Prepare an ice bath and set aside. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat to low and add the Old Bay and shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through. Drain, then plunge the shrimp into the ice water to cool. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Make the pickling mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the onion, parsley, garlic, bay leaves, lemon juice, olive oil, allspice, chili flakes, celery seed, and salt. Add the shrimp and gently stir to combine them with the pickling mixture.
• Finish the pickled shrimp: In a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid (Mason or Weck), arrange the shrimp, onions, and pickling mixture in layers. Seal with lid and let sit in the fridge for at least 3 hours before serving. The shrimp will keep in the fridge for 4-6 days.

PICKLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Boil water, add shrimp and cook until just pink, no more than 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well and rinse in cold water to prevent further cooking. Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails on. In large glass airtight jar (about 1 1/2 quarts *) layer shrimp and onions and top each layer with ground black pepper, peppercorns, bay leaf and a clove of garlic. Keep layering until jar is about 2/3 full. Pour vinegar over layers until jar is almost full. Leave space at the top so you can gently shake jar to remix ingredients. Seal jar tightly and chill for a few days up to two weeks. Turn jar upside down to remix every other day or so. Serve chilled as an appetizer.
• * Note: for larger shrimp you may need a larger jar and adjust ingredients accordingly.

PICKLED SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Zest and juice 1 of the lemons. Slice the second lemon thinly and set it aside.
• In a bowl, combine zest and juice of the lemon with the vinegar, oil, 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt, pepper, dry mustard, crushed mustard seeds, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Set aside.
• Bring a saucepan of water with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the boiling water and cook for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or just until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery, so watch closely. Drain the shrimp in a colander and run cold water over them to halt the cooking process.
• Add the drained and cooled shrimp to the seasoned vinegar and oil mixture along with the red onion and lemon slices. Taste the brine and add salt, as needed. Refrigerate the shrimp for at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Just before serving, stir in the dill and parsley. Arrange the shrimp on appetizer plates with a dip or spreads on the side.
