Very Interesting!

I mean .... If you can pickle pigs feet, pickle a okra, pickle a egg, pickle a pickle or

just get pickled ...... WHY not pickle a shrimp.

The image in the book really got my attention (it looked way better than mine)...
Maybe mine was so cloudy looking because it needs to sit a while (?)

Basically, it's boiled shrimp - like you would "regularly" do -- w/ crab boil, salt, lemons...
Let that cool.

In another pot, while the shrimp is boiling, ya mix vegetable oil (I used canola), red wine vinegar, lime juice, peppercorns, fennel seed, crushed red pep, bay leaves, bring to a boil, simmer a couple of minutes, remove from heat...  Cool some, add sliced sweet onions, carrots, and mix w/ shrimp and sliced lemons...
(mighta forgot something, but that's basically it...)

What's not to like?

Seriously, that does sound interesting!

So how long you have to let it sit?

Can you say ... pickled shrimp tacos or pickled shrimp dip or ...

golly my mind is running wild.

I reckon till it's COLD.... 
(And it's CHILLIN' now..)

Recipe says it will keep a couple of days (?)
I guess it gets too zingy/mushy after that?

Besides sounding GOOD...  I like recipes that perfect to prepare a day ahead...
So I can FOCUS on my DigiQ  ;D ;D ;D

 OK, it is a short term thing.

Well I need to know when you eat them what you think.

Wonder if it would pickle a raw shrimp? ;D

I wondered the same thing...  The lime juice should "cook" it (?)

He might be and IF He is, that is kewl!

Sounds like if you put the shrimp in raw you would end up with "ceviche". Which would be awesome too. That reminds me....I think it is time to make some ceviche again. I haven't made it for a year or two.
I like to walk threw life on the path of least resistance. But sometimes the path needs a good kick in the ass.
