Notes
- Shrimp: I usually source peeled and deveined shrimp for this recipe. If you're cleaning the shrimp yourself, I would suggest you buy 1.5 pounds.
- Cooking oil - Us a neutral cooking oil with a high smoke point, like avocado, canola, sunflower, or peanut.
- Marinating the shrimp - Marinate the shrimp for a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of 1 hour. Over marinating them will make them tough and chewy.
- Pickling the onions - It's best to pickle the onions overnight, but a minimum of 2 hours works in a pinch. Once your jar is opened, your pickled onions should be consumed within 2 weeks.
