Pickled Shrimp — Tangy, Spicy & Totally Addictive

Ingredients

1 lb (450 g) cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails removed)
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
½ tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
½ tsp celery seeds
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Optional
Bay leaf
Thin lemon slices

Directions

If shrimp are not pre-cooked, boil in salted water 2–3 minutes until pink. Drain and cool completely.

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, celery seeds, salt, and pepper.

Place cooled shrimp in a shallow dish or jar. Add sliced red onion, parsley, and optional bay leaf or lemon slices.

Pour marinade over shrimp, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, stirring once if possible.

Serve chilled with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or on top of salad.

Bright, zesty, slightly spicy — and impossible to stop eating
