Helen Corbitt's Pickled Shrimp

I was reading Miz Helen's Country Cottage a few days ago and she had posted a Cream Puff recipe from Helen Corbitt's Cooking for Company Cook Book. This book was published in 1974. It reminded me that I have Helen Corbitt's first cook book, copyright 1957. I have used some of her recipes for so long I don't even have to drag the book out anymore.

I do believe this is the only way I have ever made Pickled Shrimp and it's from Helen Corbitt's Cook Book. No one can deny that pickled shrimp are delicious. This is perfect for the holiday season.

print recipe

1 pound cooked and cleaned shrimp
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup paper-thin slices of onion
8 whole cloves
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoons sugar
A dash of cayenne pepper

Dribble the oil over the shrimp. Bring to a boil the rest of the ingredients and pour over shrimp and olive oil while hot. Cool and then refrigerate for at least 24 hours. How easy was that.
