Ingredients

  • 1 lb cooked large shrimp
  • 1 cup distilled white vinegar
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup sliced red onion
  • 1 cup sliced fennel bulb, and leaves
  • 1 Tablespoon white granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon capers
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Add shrimp, distilled white vinegar, water, red onion, fennel, sugar, salt, capers, and red pepper flakes to a large 32 oz jar. Cover and shake it up.
  • Place in the refrigerator and refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, remove shrimp from the brine and enjoy.

Notes

  • Store the shrimp in your refrigerator. It can keep for several days if the shrimp sits in the vinegar brine. I prefer to eat them within four days.
  • If using raw shrimp, cook the shrimp in boiling water for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp is pink.
