- 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
- Bring water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Add salt, sugar, and dill sprigs; stir until sugar has dissolved. Pour in shrimp and cook until the shells turn pink, and the meat is no longer translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Strain the shrimp through a colander, discard dill sprigs, and chill until cold in the refrigerator, about 30 minutes.
- Once shrimp have cooled, peel and devein them; discard the shells. Whisk together oil, vinegar, minced dill, salt, and pepper; toss with shrimp meat to coat. Cover, and chill overnight in the refrigerator; serve with sprigs of fresh dill.
