VANISHING SEVEN DAY SHRIMP
Worth the 7-day wait!
Once in a while, I like to make a dish in advance, place it in the refrigerator, and just pop it on the counter for my guests to enjoy. You might be thinking that this shrimp could not possibly be kept covered for 7 days without becoming spongy or rubbery. Believe me, when you prepare them this way, they are always as fresh tasting as if they had just been steamed. They are savory beyond words and always disappear quickly when I serve them.
Serves: 12 people, as an appetizer
Remember: The dish must be made 7 days ahead of serving time.
Ingredients:
2 lbs. peeled, cooked shrimp
2 large onions
1 container bay leaves
Marinade:
1 ¾ cups salad oil –do not use olive oil
5 T. celery seed
2 T. Tabasco
1 cup regular vinegar
2 t. salt
Preparation:
Layer shrimp, sliced onions and bay leaves in shallow glass dish with lid. Pour mixed marinade over shrimp and cover with lid or aluminum foil. Cover entire dish with a good plastic wrap and refrigerate for 7 full days.
Serve in a large decorative bowl.
