Pickled Shrimp

Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and toss throughly. Pack everything into a large glass jar, cover, and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to come together.

Serve as an hors d'oeuvre with toothpicks and napkins.

NOTE: To cook shrimp, fill a large pot with water and add 1 onion, quartered, 1 celery stalk, cut into pieces, 1 lemon, sliced, and 4 flat-leaf parsley sprigs. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

Add a tablespoon of salt and the shrimp. As soon as the water returns to a simmer, remove from the heat. The shrimp will be tough. Drain-but do not rinse the shrimp, or the flavor will go right down the drain. Reserve the broth, if desired. Allow the shrimp to cool.
