Easy Pickled Shrimp Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, onion, lemon slices, Fresno chile, garlic, crushed bay leaves, capers, celery seed, and lemon zest in a large bowl; stir until well combined. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the shrimp.
• Combine 3 quarts of water and seafood seasoning in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Add shrimp and cook for exactly 2 minutes. Drain well and add to chilled onion mixture. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight, or up to 4 days.
• Serve chilled.

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.

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with ice-cold water.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add shrimp and 1 tablespoon salt; reduce heat to low and cook until shrimp are pink, about 2 minutes. Drain the shrimp and transfer to the bowl of cold water until chilled, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain again.
• Combine remaining 1 tablespoon salt, lemon zest and juice, parsley, pickling spice, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Pour in olive oil and whisk together to make the pickling oil.
• Fill a resealable glass jar with shrimp and shallots in 4 alternating layers. Pour the pickling oil on top, submerging all contents. Put on the lid and refrigerate for 24 hours.

Steps:

• In a medium pot, bring 2 quarts water, Old Bay, bay leaf, and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes. Add shrimp and cook until just pink and opaque, 30 seconds; drain.
• Stir together shrimp and remaining ingredients in a bowl. Transfer mixture to a container. Cover tightly; shake to distribute. Chill at least 5 hours and up to 2 days before serving.
