Popular in the Mediterranean, pickled shrimp are briefly cooked before being bathed in a lemony, herb and garlic marinade overnight. A super simple, dead easy and absolutely delicious appetizer or hors d’oeuvre.

Shrimp are low in calories and fat and are one of the speediest foods to make, requiring very little cooking. Apart from peeled off their shell, there’s very little need doing to them. 

I like to pop a bowl of them on the table with some cute toothpicks and small appetizer plates, and let everyone help themselves.

Many of you are used to seeing shrimp breaded and fried try them this way and I promise you won’t be disappointed. Little to no mess to clean up and saves on fat and calories. Tastes fantastic and kind to the waistline…sign me up! Until next time, toodles xo.
