directions

  • Combine all of the above ingredients except the shrimp and the onions and simmer with stirring for 10 minutes. Add the shrimp and simmer for 4 more minutes. Using a large casserole dish with a lid make a layer of the onions then a layer of the shrimp, and repeat this process until all shrimp and onions are used. Pour the hot marinade over being sure that all the shrimp and onions are covered with the marinade. When this becomes cool, cover and place in the refrigerator to age. Chill at least for 48 hours before serving. Slices of pumpernickel bread are perfect to serve with this.
