Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon celery seed
- ½ teaspoon mustard seed
- ½ teaspoon black peppercorns
- ½ teaspoon coriander seed
- 2 bay leaves torn or crumbled
- 1 bunch lemon thyme or regular thyme optional
- 1 clove garlic smashed
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce or to taste (I prefer Crystal)
- ½ sweet onion like Vidalia, thinly sliced
- 1 lb Wild American Shrimp peeled and deveined (26-30 is a good size)
Notes
- Any size shrimp may be used, but the bigger they are, the less pickled they'll be throughout.
- Some or all of the spices may be omitted if you don't have them lying around. I happened to have all on hand, so I went for it, but the shrimp will still turn out well without them - just don't skip the onions, salt or pepper.
