Part 6/10:
One of the standout recipes is pickled shrimp, a true Southern delicacy. Peeled and deveined shrimp are briefly boiled in seasoned water with Old Bay, then cooled rapidly to halt cooking. The pickling marinade includes thinly sliced red onion, Fresno chili, lemon slices, garlic, bay leaves, capers, celery seed, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Once marinated in the fridge, these shrimp become a succulent, tangy snack—perfect for summer gatherings or an elegant appetizer. They also pair wonderfully with fresh vegetables or crispy bread.
