I developed this recipe because I love sweet and spicy, and I love shrimp. I serve this at every party I host and have learned to have copies of the recipe handy. I hope it finds a place in your favorite appetizer recipe box as well. Enjoy!! Ingredients:
2 cups red wine vinegar |
1 lemon, sliced |
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded, deveined, and finely minced |
3 cloves garlic, minced |
4 tablespoons dried minced onion flakes |
3/4 cup superfine sugar |
4 pounds large cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined |
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Pour vinegar into a pot over high heat. Stir in lemon slices, jalapeno peppers, garlic, onion flakes, and sugar. Bring to a rapid boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, and cool to lukewarm.
2. Place the shrimp and cilantro into a resealable plastic bag. Pour the lukewarm sauce into the bag, seal tightly; refrigerate overnight, turning the bag over several times.
3. Drain liquid from resealable bag, and place shrimp in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and toss well.
