Directions

Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, seafood seasoning, dill, parsley, mustard, chile, garlic, lemon slices and onion in a large bowl, toss together and set aside.

In a large pot of boiling water, add the kosher salt. Add the shrimp and cook just until they begin to turn pink and float to the top, about 2 minutes. Drain and immediately add them to the pickling liquid.

Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature and then serve. Or refrigerate until you are ready to serve them.

Serve with Lemon Chive Aioli for dipping.
Combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, lemon zest and garlic in a small mixing bowl and whisk until fully combined. Serve alongside the pickled shrimp.

    I cut the recipe in thirds because I was not sure how shrimp would taste pickled but it was awesome! I didn't think the aioli was necessary, however it was good too.

    This was soooo good! I made it for New Year's Eve and everyone loved it too! We had some left over and it was perfect on a salad. I did nothing but add greens and it was the perfect shrimp salad. I will definitely make this again!

    I made this dish last night for a New Years Eve party and it was DELICIOUS for sure. Everyone raved about the complex flavors. The aioli sauce was a nice addition too. I used a mandolin slicer to do the onions and sliced them very thin. This is also a very nice looking dish as well. EXCELLENT. I will do this one again for a party. I used 3 bags of the 20 to 25 per pound size frozen precooked shrimp with the tails on. They worked perfectly.
