Sweet N Spicy Marinated Shrimp Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Lillyann / All my dishes 1 year, 11 months ago Sweet and spicy, these shrimp marinate overnight bathed in red wine vinegar, lemon, sugar, garlic, and jalapeño peppers. They're a favorite appetizer. I serve this at every party I host and have learned to have copies of the recipe handy. I hope it... More Prep:20m Cook:480m Servings:10	Lillyann

Ingredients

2 cups red wine vinegar

1 lemon, sliced

2 fresh jalapeño 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

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.

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.

Drain liquid from resealable bag, and place shrimp in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and toss well.

Note: In the summer we serve this appetizer on a bed of crisp lettuce with fresh chopped seasonal veggies.
