Marinated Shrimp

This is my Aunt Mary Louise Haley's recipe. My uncle was a commander in the navy and was gone a lot in the Submarines. The wives left waiting did a cookbook and this is one of the recipes. This was during WWII.

subheading: Ingredients:

2 & ½ lbs. cooked, cleaned medium shrimp

2 cups sliced small white onions

7 bay leaves

1 & ¼ cups salad oil

¾ cup white vinegar

1 & ½ teaspoons salt

2 & 112 teaspoons celery seed

2 & ½ tablespoons capers and juice

2 to 3 dashes tabasco

Alternate shrimp, onions and

bay leaves in a covered bowl.

Combine remaining ingredients,

mix well and pour over shrimp

and onion. Cover and store in

refrigerator for at least 24 hours.

Will keep one week in

refrigerator. Just provide

cocktail toothpicks and soda

crackers and the shrimp will

disappear in no time.

cup celery tops, 3 & ½

teaspoons salt and ¼ cup
