Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Bloominanglophile on February 12, 2014

    I found this recipe when surfing the internet--a ton of people raved about how it perked up less-than-stellar shrimp, particularly frozen shrimp. I was disappointed in some frozen shrimp I had bought from Whole Foods, and I still had half of the 2 lb. package to use up. Well, I may be doing this from now on to all frozen, raw shrimp that I buy--both the texture and the flavor improved! A word of warning--it did take about an hour for the ice to melt in the mixture before I could add the shrimp. I did thaw, peel and devein them before brining them for 20 minutes. He recommends brining shrimp in the shell for 30 minutes, and 1 hour for "jumbo" sized shrimp in the shell.
