Pickled Shrimp...

[hal4uk]

Q, they're still chilling right now...

But one thing that did occur to me...
Since you have to "cook" the mix (oil, vinegar, lime juice, and stuff)...
Seems like this could be SIMPLIFIED by throwing a bag of crab boil in the mix, and then just throw the shrimp in while it's HOT...
(Don't take much heat to cook shrimp anyway)  ????

I dunno...

The price of shrimp may go out of site.

Reports of oil on Galveston Island today!

Glad I have a few lbs' in the freezer.

May have to call the shrimp man tomorrow.

I've had cerviche...   Curious to try this one out!

[Quarlow]

 Ceviche is basicly raw fish or seafood that is literaly cooked in an acid such as lemon  or lime juice.  Here  is a link to a good website with an explanation and recipes.  http://homecooking.about.com/od/shellfishrecipes/r/blsea12.htm
Here is a good shrimp recipe.
Impress your friends with this fresh recipe at your next fiesta! Inspired by the seaside villages in Puerto Vallarta this ceviche is a great low fat snack or appetizer.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 3 hours, 20 minutesIngredients:
•3 lbs small raw shrimp, cleaned
•4 large tomatoes, seeded and diced
•6 limes, juiced
•4 lemons, juiced
•1 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
•1 serrano chile, seeded and finely chopped
•1/2 of a cucumber, peeled and diced
•1 red onion, diced
•salt and pepper to taste
•3 tablespoons tomato sauce
Preparation:
Lay out shrimp in the bottom of glass baking dish. Pour lemon and lime juice over them and refrigerate for 3 hours. The juice will "cook" the shrimp. Toss with remaining ingredients and refrigerate for one more hour or longer. Enjoy with tortilla chips or as a topper for grilled fish!

I ate a WHOLE jar for lunch today (made two QUART jars of this stuff)...
The ONLY reason I ain't eating the other one NOW... 
I'm trading for JERKY    ;D

I'll definitely be doing this again!
(Probably tweak it a bit -of course- but it was awesome following the recipe)

I've got 3 vac-bags of jerky nuggets with your name on them!

(and some other stuff in case they went south)

Went SOUTH?  Huh?  Whatchu talkin' about?

I stopped by Hal's hood after work to drop off some leftover mason jars, lids and a goodie bag of rubs.

We split a jar of pickled shrimp he had just cracked open...  Awesome!   What a great mix of flavors...

Definitely worth a try.
