1Tablespoonof Your Favorite Seafood BoilI purchased mine at the spice store
½Cupof White Vinegar
½Cupof Olive Oil
1Teaspoonof Salt
½Teaspoonof Salt for the Boiling Water
Instructions
Remove head and peel the shell and legs (I leave the tail on)
Devein shrimp if not already purchased this way
Boil a pot of lightly salted water (½ teaspoon of salt)
Add the shrimp along with half of the onion and slowly stir 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 the 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.
Notes
Note This is not a canning recipe. Although the shrimp will be pickled, this is not meant for storing and will not be shelf stable. They are meant to be stored in the fridge and eaten with in a day or two.
