Ingredients

• 1 lb. 16/20 shrimp, peeled, tail on
• 1 each red and green bell pepper, large diced
• 1 yellow onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and cut in half
• 8 grape tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
• 2 cups white vinegar
• 3 cups water
• 4 Tbs. creole seasoning
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 1 Tbs. mustard seed
• 1/4 cup sugar

Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan bring everything to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar and creole seasoning (be careful, hot vinegar will cause tears, hold your breath!)

Add all of the shrimp, stir and turn off heat. Let steep about 8 minutes until shrimp have fully cooked.

Remove shrimp to a container and let brine fully cool down, then pour over shrimp and store in refrigerator, covered for at least 12 hours, up to 3 days. Remove from brine and serve chilled.
