‘Jubilee’ Pickled Shrimp

Pickled shrimp is a dish that's a southern tradition at many a party. Made in a salty brine with lemons, onions and red peppers plus a little olive oil.

I didn’t grow up eating pickled shrimp, which is surprising considering my mom’s coastal upbringing. Her family spans from the Atlantic beaches of Florida, all the way to the bayous of Louisiana. Seafood made regular appearances at our family gatherings, but usually in the form of spicy Cajun gumbos and jambalayas. It wasn’t until I attended an annual Christmas Day cocktail party a few years back that I discovered the wonder that is Sea Island Shrimp.
