12 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • Sauce
  • 1 cup oil (I use Canola oil. Corn oil is fine)
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup vinegar (I use plain apple cider vinegar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 dashes salt
  • Shrimp
  • 1 large onion, sliced thinly
  • 1 lb shrimp (I prefer the medium-large to large size)
  • 4 bay leaves

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix sauce with electric mixer about 5 minutes before pouring over shrimp.
  2. 2
    Shell and devein shrimp. Cook shrimp in water until they just turn pink, 1-2 minutes. Don't overcook.
  3. 3
    Put cooked shrimp, raw onion slices, and Bay leaves in a container.
  4. 4
    Pour sauce over all. Fold gently to incorporate the sauce evenly.
  5. 5
    Cover the container, and let it remain in the refrigerator at least 24 hours. (It is not necessary, but I do stir them once or twice in the 24-hour period. It is an excuse to sample one).
  6. 6
    Before serving, drain the sauce. Put drained shrimp in serving dish.
  7. 7
    Sprinkle with parsley flakes, if desired.
  8. 8
