Quick Pickled Shrimp

Summer meals in my house contain a lot of fresh, local seafood. Fresh local shrimp tops our list and is a favorite of every member of my family. Since we are hosting some summer barbecues this year with friends and family, we wanted to start early in getting our recipes together. This one is a no-brainer since it can be prepared up to a couple of days in advance and the flavors only get better as they have time to meld so it’s the perfect go-to dish for a busy host(ess).

This simple, easy to follow recipe for Quick Pickled Shrimp is perfect for summer.

What I really like about this Quick Pickled Shrimp is the brightness of the lemon and parsley and how perfectly it pairs with the fennel, onions, and corn. The peppers lend a little bit of heat but it’s not overpowering. In fact, if you’d like a spicier version, I recommend increasing the number of hot peppers, to taste.

Remember that if you do choose to serve Quick Pickled Shrimp, or any seafood, at your next barbecue or beach party, make sure you keep it chilled until serving time as it still can spoil in the hot summer sun.
