How to make PICKLED SHRIMP! This stuff is great.

Recipe: Use 8 cups vinegar and 6 cups sugar if you want to back the sweetness down a bit. Some folks go only 4 cups sugar but I like the sweet!
Put shrimp in a one gallon jar put a layer of shrimp and salt. (canning salt) use a total of 1 and 1/3 cups of salt and then cover with white vinegar.
Put it in the frig for 5 days shaking once every day.
After 5 days rinse of all the salt and vinegar.
Put the shrimp in fresh water and ice cubes for 1 hour.
In a pot put 8 cups of white vinegar, 5 to 7 cups of sugar, and
1/3 cup pickling spice, and 1/4 cup white zinfandel wine.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes then cool until
cold. Put your shrimp in the gallon jar layered with sweet onions and pour the cooled mixture over the shrimp and onions and put it in the frig for at least 3 to 5 days before eating.
It lasts..... not very long! About 6 weeks to 2 months easy!
Enjoy!

OMG!! WTH?!! THIS IS DELICIOUS!! I finally ate this after I started the process last week! I had my apprehensions at first due to the combination of ingredients and never having tried anything pickled other than cucumber but WOW! I am now hooked on this recipe! God rest this man's soul and blessings to the family for posting this wonderful recipe!

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Great job!

[@littlepigboy]

My heart hurts reading that he passed away. I remember watching him on my old account years ago when he was on a boat and it was the coolest most delicious episode. What is bizarre is that I often think of him when working with seafood and that is often. I love him though I did not know him. I’m going to make this and name it after him. Thank you for keeping this channel going. It’s incredible as it is delicious. 🦞❤️👨🏻‍🍳

@@CookingwithShotgunRed I just watched (again) one of Red's videos. I only wish I was one of the fortunate people who knew and enjoyed him during his lifetime. He was so genuine and down to earth, he was comfortable with himself, and loved sharing his enthusiasm with other people. You were a great example of how to live live with purpose and grace and will not be forgotten. I'll keep going back and learning from your videos. Thanks Sheila for soldering on, I look forward to your recipes as much as I did Reds! You are a gem!

[@dirk1088]

I grew up in South Dakota and for the past few years have been living in the Marshall Islands where I fish every chance I get. I'm always looking for a new way to cook my fish up and got to craving the pickled Northerns that my cousin makes up back in SoDak which is when I found the pickled fish video. It's been a big hit (people ask if they can buy it off me...no, but I'll GIVE you a jar) and I'm now I'm really looking forward to giving this shrimp version a try. I tried cutting back the 8/7 vinegar/sugar ratio on the fish to 8/6 and find it's plenty sweet without being too much so, just personal preference. Keep up the great videos!

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Good call... I do the 8/7 or 8/6 split once in awhile. I do the 50/50 so folks can remember it. I figure they will cut the sugar down a bit if they want to. Thanks Again...

I live in the self proclaimed "Shrimp Capital of the World" (that was then this is now) cue Forrest Gump Fresh Shrimp of any size is so delicious and available here even though Fed Laws have chased most of our Shrimpers to move to Mexico. I don't eat (any) sugar anymore so.... I change up the recipe a bit (well actually a lot) I use unpasteurized Raw Vinegar (not heated either) No Sugar and add Garlic Cloves and Pepper Flakes which / then after a couple days of fermenting really cuts down the amount of sugar from the Onions and DANG it ends up crispy GOOD Onions w some shrimp (because I like Shrimp)

Perhaps Miss Shelia, you will see this comment & be able to tell me if I can water bath/can these pickled shrimp or fish so I can keep several jars on the shelf or as gifts for friends. I fear the shrimp will get too tough from the heat of canning & the fish will all but dissolve & turn to mush. Any help you or anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Well my friend, after 2 days in the brine I had to try one. I found it way too sweet, so I emptied half the brine and replaced it with apple cider vinegar. That was 2 days ago and I just tried another. MUCH better. _Still a 'hint' of the taste right after they were rinsed, but before the finish brine was added._ .....but I'm betting that will be gone in a day or two. I've got 20 pounds of wild Argentinean 'red' shrimp in the deep freeze, so I think I might try the more traditional pickled shrimp next. (see if a par boil makes a difference) Thanks!!
