    SPICY MARINATED SHRIMP

    List of Ingredients





    2 lbs. Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
    1 T Salt
    1 Lemon, cut in half
    8 C Water
    3/4 C White wine vinegar or tarragon vinegar
    3/4 C Olive oil
    1-2 Serrano chiles (more or less, depending on taste), seeds and veins removed, finely minced OR
    1 Dried chile de arbol, crushed (no seeds)
    1/4 C Fresh cilantro, chopped
    2 Large cloves garlic, minced or put through a garlic press
    2 T Fresh cilantro, chopped (if desired)
    3 Green onions (white part only), minced
    Freshly ground black pepper, to taste


    Recipe



    Combine the water, salt and lemon halves in a Dutch oven, and bring to a boil. Add the shrimp, stir, and boil gently for 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.

    Combine the vinegar, olive oil, chiles, cilantro and garlic in a large zip-top plastic bag or other plastic container. Add the boiled shrimp, and refrigerate for 12 hours or overnight, turning several times.

    To serve, drain liquid from shrimp. In a large bowl, combine chilled shrimp with additional cilantro, green onions and black pepper, and toss well. Arrange in a serving dish, and serve immediately.


    Notes: If you buy unpeeled shrimp, you will need about 4 pounds of unpeeled shrimp to equal 2 pounds of peeled shrimp.
