Looking for something just a little differfent to make for a lovely appetizer? Man Oh Man are these GOOD! Everyone goes nuts over these tasty little morsels! If I am making this dish just for myself, I don’t drain the shrimp. I let it marinate in the sauce in the refrigerator, and take out what I want and keep the rest in the refrigerator. They never stay in the refrigerator long though. Preparation time does not include the cleaning and deveining of the shrimp.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Sauce

1 cup oil (I use Canola oil. Corn oil is fine)
1/3 cup ketchup
1/3 cup vinegar (I use plain apple cider vinegar)
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
3 dashes salt

Shrimp

1 large onion, sliced thinly
1 lb shrimp (I prefer the medium-large to large size)
4 bay leaves

Directions

1
Mix sauce with electric mixer about 5 minutes before pouring over shrimp.
2
Shell and devein shrimp. Cook shrimp in water until they just turn pink, 1-2 minutes. Don’t overcook.
3
Put cooked shrimp, raw onion slices, and Bay leaves in a container.
4
Pour sauce over all. Fold gently to incorporate the sauce evenly.
5
Cover the container, and let it remain in the refrigerator at least 24 hours. (It is not necessary, but I do stir them once or twice in the 24-hour period. It is an excuse to sample one).
6
Before serving, drain the sauce. Put drained shrimp in serving dish.
7
Sprinkle with parsley flakes, if desired.
8
Serve with crackers.

These shrimp are easy to prepare with ingredients you will most likely have on hand. I found the onion flavor to be overpowering. For me, this is not a make again recipe.

I love shrimp and when I saw this I knew I had to make it. I had company over and wanted some appetizers to munch out on. I made the night before and let the flavors blend in the refrigerator. All we can say here is how fantastic these truly are, and hope that you will try them for yourself. They would appeal to anyone loving shrimp! Awesome recipe!

These are better than I could have possibly hoped for! I have made these several times for myself and my friends, and everyone has raved about them. I put the shrimp in quart jars, fill with the sauce, refrigerate for about a week, and present as gifts. Everyone who has received a jar has asked for more. Thanks Linda for a keeper.

OMG, these are amazing! The flavors going on with these shrimp are INCREDCIBLE! Everyone raves about them no matter where I bring them. Remember they need to marinate so you need to make them ahead of time. If your looking for something to WOW your guests, friends, coworkers and family, I suggest you make these and see what I mean!
