Pickled Shrimp with Pico de Gallo for #SundaySupper

Today, in honor of Memorial Day, the Foodie Stuntman - DB! -  at Crazy Foodie Stunts is hosting #SundaySupper with a red, white, and blue theme. I only managed two of the three colors. What a fun list of dishes today.

Ingredients
Pickled Shrimp

• 1 T peppercorns (I used a mixture of black and green)
• 2 t coriander seeds
• 1/2 C vinegar (I used a white vinegar)
• 1/4 C water
• 1/2 t fleur de sel
• 10 cloves of garlic
• 1/4 C freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 T tequila
• 1 pound large, peeled, deveined shrimp with tails on
• 4 to 6 serrano chiles, halved lengthwise
• 8 to 10 kaffir lime leaves

Pico de Gallo

• 1 T vinegar (I used a white vinegar)
• juice from 1 orange
• juice from 2 limes
• 1 small red onion, peeled and diced
• 2 banana peppers, deseeded and diced
• 1 hatch chile, deseeded and diced
• 1 C fresh tomatoes (I used cherry tomatoes, but use what you have)
• 1/4 C organic cilantro leaves, chopped
• pinch of fleur de sel
• freshly ground pepper

Procedure

Pickled Shrimp
In a small saucepan, toast the seeds and pepercorns until fragrant, approximately 60 seconds. Add vinegar, water, salt, and garlic. Bring to a boil and let cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat. Pour in the tequila and lime juice. Let come to room temperature.

Pack the shrimp, peppers, and leaves into a lidded jar.

Pour vinegar mixture over the top. Add water if the shrimp is not totally submerged. Seal jar and refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving.

Pico de Gallo
Place all of the ingredients - except for the salt and pepper - in a small mixing bowl. Blend gently and let stand for 15 minutes to blend flavors. To make this more spicy, just hotter peppers such as a habanero or jalapeno.

Serve at room temperature. This salsa stays fresh for up to 3 hours. If you refrigerate it, use quickly because it will begin to ferment.

Serve shrimp on individual plates with a topping of the pico de gallo.
