Pickled Shrimp

I want to show y'all one of Michael's favorite dishes, and it's pickled shrimp

And he was the cutest thing. He kept telling me about these pickled shrimp, these pickled shrimp

and finally one day I said, how about showing me how you make these great pickled shrimp

So we got into the kitchen, and he was so cute, girls

Watching Michael is like watching molasses pour. He's that slow, and he was so, so cute

I really had to stop myself from slapping him and moving him out of the way and just letting me do it

But it was so much fun watching him that day. Now, his pickled shrimp is very, very simple

He starts with a medium-sized shrimp, and I have actually split these down the middle

and already deveined them. So we've got our water boiling. Just gonna pour our shrimp right on in there

And these won't take but just a couple of minutes. You can see already how quick they've turned pink

I've got me a bowl of ice water ready. Go ahead and pull our shrimp out

And then we're going to plop them into our ice water. This dish takes about 10 minutes to put together

and I think Michael spent about an hour and a half doing this

All right, so we've got our shrimp in our ice water. Now I'm gonna let those sit there

because I already got some that been peeled All right now we gonna get us a jar You can use any kind of jar you want And I gonna start by putting our shrimp in

And I think this is exactly the way Michael does it. So we wanna make sure we do it just like he does

I can do it a little faster. Maybe that's why I'm on TV and Michael it

All right, so we're gonna layer a few shrimp in there, and then we're gonna take our onion and throw over in there

And then I've got some garlic cloves, and drop it over in there like that

And then we're gonna come back with a few more shrimp, and we're gonna drop a little peppercorn in there

Michael really, really likes spicy things. Go figure. Think that's why he chose me

So we're gonna drop a few bay leaves in. We'll do a couple on this layer

And a couple more onions. And a few more shrimp. And a few more peppercorns

Another clove of garlic. Gonna give that a shake and shake that down

And then we're just gonna squeeze a lemon over that. And we're gonna cover it with an apple cider vinegar

Look how pretty that is. Now the only thing about this dish

is we actually put this in the refrigerator and let it sit for two weeks

Makes a wonderful gift
