This recipe was inspired by the book “Charlston Receipts” from South Carolina. This book has so many intresting, new to me recipes. My sister in-law gifted me this book and I had tried few recipes. This pickled shrimp looked very intriguingly and I decided to share with You.
Onions could be used as pickles on sandwich or as a side dish. Shrimp is very delicious by it self, but to my taste it taste the best with rye bread. Rye bread compliments pickled onions and shrimp and just balances it all together.
