Ingredients

• Ingredients
  1. 2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
  2. 3 pounds large shrimp, shelled and deveined
  3. 6 bay leaves, crumbled
  4. 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  5. 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  6. 3 garlic cloves, minced
  7. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  8. 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  9. 2 tablespoons crushed mustard seeds
  10. 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  11. 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  12. 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
  13. 1/2 teaspoon turmeric

Directions

1. 1. Add the Old Bay Seasoning to a large pot of water, cover and bring to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until they just start to curl, about 1 minute. Drain and spread on a large rimmed baking sheet. Cool to room temperature.
2. In a large resealable plastic bag, mix the bay leaves with the lemon and orange juices, garlic, olive oil, onion, mustard seeds, salt, crushed pepper, celery seeds and turmeric. Add the shrimp and seal; refrigerate overnight.
3. Transfer the shrimp and marinade to a large, shallow bowl and serve.

Notes

To devein shrimp, slit the curled side of the shrimp with scissors to expose the intestinal tract (the vein), which can be clear or black. Pull out the veins with the tip of a knife or your fingers.

For shrimp served as finger food, like in this recipe, it?s best to leave their tail shells on so guests can pick them up easily.
