What’s Cooking? Pickled Shrimp, Recipe, Easy, Versatile, Gluten Free!!
It’s a holiday week-end and this recipe is one of those that it is so easy to prepare. Perfect for guests. Once made, just let it sit for some time so the marinade takes hold and then voila! Use it just as an appetizer, on a salad, accompanying meats. You’ll see how good it, actually, is.
Pickled Shrimp
2 lbs large shrimp, (easy peel are the best)
2 tablespoons pickling spices
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (Emeril’s has a gluten free one)
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1 cup white wine vinegar
10 green onions (chopped)
Pull shrimp from shells; discard shells. In a good size saucepan, place shrimp and sprinkle with the pickling spices.
Cover the shrimp with water. Bring to a boil; simmer over medium heat for about 2 or 3 minutes. Strain water, leaving spices on shrimp; set aside.
In a small bowl, combine mustard, horseradish, oil, salt, celery salt, vinegar and onions. Pour over drained shrimp. Cover and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.
Serve cold, as an appetizer.
Or, like I above mentioned, accompanying meats. If you like shrimp, it will be a winner.
