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
Shrimp season is summer and fall in marshy coastal Georgia and South Carolina and in the Louisiana Gulf. If you can find shrimp from any of those places at those times of year, get enough for eating for several weeks, and make this marinated or pickled shrimp, which lasts that long. There is a version of a recipe for this everywhere, over eons, including in Sciappi's "The Works." His recipe is for a fish called gilthead, but the method and result are almost identical. Something very similar to this exact recipe was popular through the middle of last century as Pickled Shrimp, or Shrimp Sea Island. And the Alabama chef Frank Stitt has a recipe almost exactly like this one, in one of his fine cookbooks.

Steps:
- Make court bouillon for shrimp: Put a few peppercorns, 4 bay leaves, 1/4 onion and/or leek, 1 clove garlic and a few sprigs fresh thyme or oregano in a pot of water. Bring to a boil, and let cook 15 minutes. Then add 1 teaspoon salt and shrimp, and cook for 2-3 minutes at below a boil. Remove shrimp with a strainer.
- In separate bowl, combine all other ingredients except oil and oregano. Let sit 5 minutes. Add shrimp. Mix well. Add oil, and mix. Add oregano, and mix. Serve at least 5 hours later and ideally the next day, cold or room temperature.

Steps:
- In a bowl whisk together the vinegar, the pepper, the salt, the sugar, the mustard, the red pepper flakes, the mustard seeds, and the coriander seeds and add the oil in a stream, whisking. Whisk the marinade until it is emulsified and stir in the garlic and the bay leaf. In a large saucepan of salted boiling water cook the shrimp for 1 minute, or until they are just cooked through, drain them well, and add them to the marinade. Let the mixture cool, stir in the onion and the lemon, and let the shrimp mixture marinate, covered and chilled, stirring occasionally, for at least 12 hours and up to 1 day. Stir in the minced dill or parsley, transfer the pickled shrimp to a bowl, and garnish it with the dill sprigs.
