Pickled Shrimp: A Zesty, Spicy Treat! 🦐🔥

✨ Instructions:

1️⃣ Simmer the brine: In a pot, combine water, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt, sugar, red pepper flakes, black peppercorns, bay leaf, mustard seeds, and coriander seeds. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes to infuse flavors.

2️⃣ Cook the shrimp: Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until they turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking!

3️⃣ Cool & layer: Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. In a clean jar, layer the sliced onions, then pour the shrimp and brine mixture over them.

4️⃣ Pickle to perfection: Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 24 hours (48 hours for deeper flavor). Serve chilled as an appetizer, on salads, or with crusty bread!

Enjoy your bold, tangy pickled shrimp! 🍤✨
