PICKLED SHRIMP
If you didn't grow up in a coastal town in the South, you might never have eaten pickled shrimp with your Thanksgiving dinner. But since you can use frozen shrimp in this recipe, it might be time to try. Briny and a bit spicy, this pickled shrimp is full of flavor. You can make this dish the day before the feast for a faint pickle taste or leave them in the refrigerator for a week before, which means you'll bring something with huge personality to the table. Either way, this might become a tradition for your family. Good for a week.

SOUTHERN PICKLED SHRIMP
Pickled shrimp are not your standard, classic pickle: it's more of a preservation technique, using oil, acid in the form of lemon juice, and tons of flavor from onion, bay leaf, allspice, and celery seed. Everything comes together in this beautiful thing that you can pile on top of crusty bread, chop into salsa, or serve with toothpicks, just like grandma used to.

There are many different recipes for pickling solutions, so you can choose one that you like. Some popular ingredients in pickling solutions include vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and spices.

- Store the shrimp properly: Once the shrimp are pickled, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Be sure to store them in a covered container.
