#HotSummerEats: Blueberry-Pickled Shrimp #Sponsor

On this third day of Hot Summer Eats, I wanted to create an appetizer using NOT Ketchup's Blueberry White Pepper. I've been really enamored with pickled shrimp recently.


Ingredients
  • 1 T peppercorns (I used a mixture of black and green)
  • 2 t coriander seeds
  • 1/2 C vinegar (I used a pineapple vinegar)
  • 1/4 C water
  • 1/2 t fleur de sel
  • 1 star anise
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 C freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 T tequila
  • 1 T NOT Ketchup's Blueberry White Pepper Fruit Ketchup*
  • 1 t olive oil
  • 1 pound large shrimp with tails on, blanched just till opaque
  • 1/2 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 C fresh blueberries

Procedure
In a small saucepan, toast the seeds and pepercorns until fragrant, approximately 60 seconds. Add vinegar, water, salt, star anise, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and let cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat. Pour in the tequila, ketchup, lemon juice, and olive oil. Let come to room temperature.


Pack the shrimp, fennel, blueberries, and leaves into a lidded jar.Pour the pickling liquid over the shrimp. Fill up with cool water, if there's still space in the jar. Close up and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. Serve chilled on a bed of lettuce.

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
