Ingredients

For the shrimp

2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined
5-6 bay leaves
6 small white onions, thinly sliced

For the dressing

1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup tarragon vinegar
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Cayenne pepper (to taste)
A handful of pickle spices (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

In a crock pot or large bowl, layer the shrimp evenly. Add a layer of bay leaves followed by a layer of thinly sliced onions. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.
In another bowl, whisk together the olive oil, tarragon vinegar, salt, dry mustard, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and pickle spices until well combined.

🌶️ Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper based on your spice preference. For a milder flavor, start with a little and taste as you go!

Pour the dressing over the shrimp and onions, making sure everything is coated well. Cover and refrigerate for about 24 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure an even pickle.
Serve chilled in a bowl with toothpicks as a flavorful appetizer or over a bed of lettuce for a refreshing salad.

🥬 You can garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for an extra pop of color and flavor!

Tips

Shrimp selection: Fresh, high-quality shrimp will make a noticeable difference in the dish. If using frozen shrimp, be sure to thaw them properly before preparing.
Storage: This dish keeps well in the refrigerator for several days, allowing the flavors to deepen over time. Just be sure to keep it covered!

Variations

Herbed Shrimp: Add fresh dill or parsley to the dressing for an herbal twist.
Spicy Shrimp: Include sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce in the dressing for added heat.
Citrus Twist: Add the zest and juice of a lemon or lime for a bright citrus flavor that complements the shrimp beautifully.

This delightful pickled shrimp recipe is not just food; it’s a celebration of flavor and festivity that will elevate any gathering! Enjoy! 🎉
