Ingredients
- 1 Lb. of Raw Shrimp
- 2 Lemons (sliced)
- 1 Large Onion
- 1 Tablespoon of Your Favorite Seafood Boil (I purchased mine at the spice store)
- ½ Cup of White Vinegar
- ½ Cup of Olive Oil
- 1 Teaspoon of Salt
- ½ Teaspoon of Salt for the Boiling Water
Instructions
- Remove head and vein from shrimp if not already purchased this way
- Peel the shell (I leave the tail on)
- Boil a pot of lightly salted water (½ teaspoon of salt)
- Add the shrimp along with half of the onion and slowly as they will boil up and foam
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn slightly pink
- With a slotted spoon transfer the shrimp to an ice bath (If you get some of the onion in the bath that is fine)
- Slice the lemon and rest of the onion in thin rings
- In a mason jar layer the lemon and some raw onion and then some shrimp and a sprinkling of your seafood boil. Repeat until all are gone.
- Add the teaspoon of salt
- Add the oil and vinegar
- Place the lid on the jar and shake a few times
- Place this in the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours
- Make sure the shrimp is covered if you need to add a little water and more of the olive oil and vinegar mix to the brine.
Enjoy!
