SOUTHERN PICKLED SHRIMP
Pickled shrimp are not your standard, classic pickle: it's more of a preservation technique, using oil, acid in the form of lemon juice, and tons of flavor from onion, bay leaf, allspice, and celery seed. Everything comes together in this beautiful thing that you can pile on top of crusty bread, chop into salsa, or serve with toothpicks, just like grandma used to.

Steps:
- Cook the shrimp: Prepare an ice bath and set aside. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat to low and add the Old Bay and shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through. Drain, then plunge the shrimp into the ice water to cool. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Make the pickling mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the onion, parsley, garlic, bay leaves, lemon juice, olive oil, allspice, chili flakes, celery seed, and salt. Add the shrimp and gently stir to combine them with the pickling mixture.
- Finish the pickled shrimp: In a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid (Mason or Weck), arrange the shrimp, onions, and pickling mixture in layers. Seal with lid and let sit in the fridge for at least 3 hours before serving. The shrimp will keep in the fridge for 4-6 days.
BEST PICKLED SHRIMP
These pickled shrimp are the best--a perfect light appetizer that can be made ahead of time and enjoyed as-is with a cold glass of white wine. You'll love the contrast between the bright lemon acidity and the pungent peppers, onions, and capers.

PICKLED SHRIMP
If you didn't grow up in a coastal town in the South, you might never have eaten pickled shrimp with your Thanksgiving dinner. But since you can use frozen shrimp in this recipe, it might be time to try. Briny and a bit spicy, this pickled shrimp is full of flavor. You can make this dish the day before the feast for a faint pickle taste or leave them in the refrigerator for a week before, which means you'll bring something with huge personality to the table. Either way, this might become a tradition for your family. Good for a week.

FLORIDA COAST PICKLED SHRIMP
Steps:
- In a large pot, combine the crab boil, 2 teaspoons of the salt, the lemon quarters, and 8 cups water. Bring the mixture to a boil, and boil for 5 minutes. Add the shrimp, and cook until they are pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Drain the shrimp in a colander, and discard the crab boil and lemon.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the oil, vinegar, lime juice, Creole mustard, peppercorns, fennel seeds, red-pepper flakes, garlic, bay leaves, and the remaining 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the onions and carrots, and cool completely. Place the shrimp in a large nonreactive mixing bowl or container (sealable plastic storage containers work great), and cover with the marinade. Toss with the lemon slices, cover tightly, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (or for up to 2 days), tossing every 4 or so hours, before serving. To serve the pickled shrimp, use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp and goodies (pickled veggies, spices) to a serving bowl, then add just enough liquid to keep everything moist (using the entire bowl of pickling liquid would be too messy).
