Pickled Shrimp Recipe

[Outdoor Writer]

With all this talk about meat and shellfish, thought I'd post this recipe I've been using for about 30 years. It was always a big hit on the Steenkin' Peeg Hunts i organized for 10 years or so.

Pickled Shrimp

3 pounds of cooked, deveined med. shrimp
1 large, thinly sliced onion
1 1/4 cups salad oil
3/4 cup white vinegar
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp celery seeds
3 Tbsp capers & juice
2 dashes tabasco or Louisiana Hot Sauce
1 crushed clove garlic

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Allow to marinate several hours, preferably overnight. Remove garlic before serving. Serves 12-16. 

For one pound of shrimp, just use a 1/3 of the other ingredients except for tabasco and garlic.

Different form of Ceviche, one of my favorite sea foods. Thanks, Tony.

Yes and no. Note that this uses cooked shrimp. As you probably know, raw shrimp goes into cerviche, and the lime juice sort of cooks it. I often make cerviche as a small appetizer using only three or four shrimp with red onion, jalapeno, tomatoes, cilantro and avocado. Most recipes call for cucumber but I don't like it, so I leave it out.
