Pickled Shrimp and VegetablesRomulo Yanes

Don't be surprised if you're asked for this recipe again and again — these shrimp are an absolute knockout. The bright acidity of the marinade and the crispness of fennel, celery, and onion are a delicious counterpoint to the sweetness of the shrimp.

Cooks' Note:

Shrimp and vegetables can be marinated up to 2 days.
