Picnic Shrimp
Picnic Shrimp: Pickled shrimp perfect to take on a summer picnic at the beach, park or camping. Add a tray of cheeses, olives, crackers and fruit for an alfresco dining experience.
This shrimp is marinated with lots of lemons, shallots, champagne vinegar, olive oil and assorted herbs. Simply delicious and the perfect appetizer. It doesn’t have to be for a picnic, It also makes the perfect light summer lunch. Dine in style while camping. You can make this days in advance (the flavors get better and better).
Too hot to be outside? Bring the outdoors in with my Country Shrimp Boil Party. Full of great food and fun decorating ideas. I am a beach girl through and through but unfortunately I live in the desert. So when I can’t make it to the beach I throw a beach themed party!

Wow. I never thought I could have something as stylish as a shrimp dish while camping. Now I know what food to pack on my next camping trip. Thanks for this.
Yum! I would love this on a picnic or on my back patio with a glass of wine. It looks so delicious!
This shrimp looks fabulous! I would eat it any time I could get it!
I made these last night to watch fireworks on a boat. OH MY!!! They were delicious and I received many compliments and requests for the recipe. I didnt have celery seed or bay leaves and they only marinated for 3 hours and they were unbelievably flavorful.
Yay! That’s awesome Christine!
