Pickled Shrimp

As promised here is the recipe to the pickled shrimp. It has a lot of ingredients and each one is important. It is best if you make it about 3-4 days ahead to let it marinate. It makes enough for about 20 appetizer servings. It is so good.

6 pounds of medium cooked shrimp peeled with tale on

2 cups of tarragon vinegar

2 cups of sugar

2 tablespoons of dill

2 purple onions sliced thin

1 cup of lemon juice

2 tablespoons of sweet basil

2 tablespoons of minced garlic

1 cup of olive oil

1 cup of vegetable oil

2 teaspoons of Lawry's seasoning salt

2 tablespoons of red pepper flakes

2 tablespoons of parsley

6 small cans of sliced mushrooms

2 tablespoons of seasoning pepper (I use Monterey seasoning for steak)

1 small jar of capers (an option that I use)

Mix all together and marinate for several days stirring twice each day.

Serve cold with crackers.
