PICKLED SHRIMP
8 servings
Despite admonitions to never mix seafood and cheese, we find these especially tasty when sitting atop a cracker mounded high with Treva’s Pimiento Cheese.
Prepare:
Combine in a large bowl:
- 2 cups cider vinegar
- 1 cup flat beer
- 1 large lemon, very thinly sliced
- ½ red onion, sliced paper thin
- 5 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 tablespoon cracked black peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- Leaves from 1 bunch celery
- (1 tablespoon celery seed)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons Tabasco, to taste
Add the shrimp to the pickling liquid. Weight the shrimp with a plate to keep them submerged beneath the brine and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours before serving. We like to serve these with:
- Saltine crackers or Soda Crackers
