Scandinavian Dilled Shrimp
Ingredients
  • 2 quarts water
  • 1/4 cup coarse salt
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 5 sprigs dill
  • 2 pounds medium shrimp, with shells
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
1
Heat a large pot filled with water to its highest temperature over high heat. Introduce salt, sugar, and dill sprigs into the pot; stir until the sugar has fully incorporated. Add the shrimp to the mixture and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until their shells have turned pink and the meat is no longer see-through.
2
Remove the shrimp from the pot using a strainer, discarding the dill sprigs in the process. Allow the shrimp to cool down completely in the refrigerator, taking approximately 30 minutes.
3
Once cooled, remove the shells from the shrimp and set them aside to discard. Combine oil, vinegar, minced dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl; toss the shrimp meat with this mixture to coat it evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight, allowing the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled, garnished with fresh dill sprigs.
