Ingredients
1 red onion, chopped
1/2 cup fresh lime juice, use lime zest for garnish
2 tablespoons capers
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon hot sauce
1 ¼ cups water
½ cup rice vinegar
3 cloves, whole
1 bay leaf
1 pound uncooked shrimp, peeled and de-veined
Directions
1. In a shallow baking dish, combine the onion, lime juice, capers, mustard and hot sauce. Set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, add the water, vinegar, cloves and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and then add the shrimp. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Drain and transfer the shrimp to the shallow dish containing the onion mixture, and discard the cloves and bay leaf. Stir well. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 1 hour.
3. To serve, divide the shrimp mixture among individual small bowls and garnish each with lime zest. This tastes best cold, but serve warm with a slice of cheddar cheese on a cracker too, if you prefer.
