Ingredients

  • 2 lbs cooked & deveined large shrimp
  • 3 medium sliced onions
  • 1 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 2 whole cloves peeled garlic
  • whole peppercorns
  • freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. In large glass airtight jar (about 1 1/2 quarts *) layer shrimp and onions and top each layer with ground black pepper, peppercorns, bay leaf and a clove of garlic. Keep layering until jar is about 2/3 full. Pour vinegar over layers until jar is almost full. Leave space at the top so you can gently shake jar to remix ingredients. Seal jar tightly and chill for a few days up to two weeks. Turn jar upside down to remix every other day or so. Serve chilled as an appetizer.

Notes

  • Note: for larger shrimp you may need a larger jar and adjust ingredients accordingly.
