Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon English-style dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds, crushed
1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
1 cup olive oil
3 large garlic cloves, crushed
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 pounds (24 to 30) large shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 medium onion, halved lengthwise and sliced thin
1 lemon, sliced thin
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill or parsley leaves, or to taste, plus a dill sprig for garnish
1 dill sprig

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together the vinegar, the pepper, the salt, the sugar, the mustard, the red pepper flakes, the mustard seeds, and the coriander seeds and add the oil in a stream, whisking. Whisk the marinade until it is emulsified and stir in the garlic and the bay leaf. In a large saucepan of salted boiling water cook the shrimp for 1 minute, or until they are just cooked through, drain them well, and add them to the marinade. Let the mixture cool, stir in the onion and the lemon, and let the shrimp mixture marinate, covered and chilled, stirring occasionally, for at least 12 hours and up to 1 day. Stir in the minced dill or parsley, transfer the pickled shrimp to a bowl, and garnish it with the dill sprigs.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Prawns: Opt for fresh, plump prawns to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Proper Cleaning: Clean the prawns thoroughly, removing the heads and shells. Devein them to eliminate the digestive tract and ensure a clean taste.
  • Marinate the Prawns: Marinating the prawns in a mixture of vinegar, sugar, salt, and spices enhances their flavor and makes them more tender.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality vinegar, sugar, and spices to create a flavorful pickle. Fresh herbs, such as dill and bay leaves, add extra depth of flavor.
  • Sterilize the Jars: Sterilizing the jars and lids in boiling water ensures they are free of bacteria and safe for storing the pickled prawns.
  • Pack the Jars Tightly: Pack the pickled prawns tightly into the sterilized jars, leaving minimal headspace to prevent spoilage.
  • Proper Storage: Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or refrigerator, to maintain their quality and flavor.
