Every year we have a Christmas Open House and I make about 20 pounds of this marinated shrimp. It is one of the most popular items I serve. I think some come just to eat the shrimp.
Ingredients
- 2 lb
- unpeeled, medium fresh shrimp
- 6 c
- salted water
- 1/2 c
- sugar
- 1 1/2 c
- white vinegar
- 1 c
- canola oil
- 1/4 c
- capers, undrained
- 1/2 tsp
- kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tsp
- celery salt
- 3 medium
- red or white onions, sliced and separated into rings
How to Make Marinated Shrimp
- 1Peel shrimp leaving tails on. De-vein if desired. Bring water to boil; add shrimp and cook 3 minutes or just until shrimp turns pin. Drain and rinse with cold water. Chill.
- 2Combine sugar and next 5 ingredients in a shallow dish. Add shrimp alternately with onions. Cover and chill at least 6 hours, turning often. Drain and discard marinade before serving.
