Bittersweet satsumas, a citrus fruit native to Louisiana, brighten these pickled shrimp, which chef Justin Devillier of New Orleans' La Petite Grocery spikes with Korean chile flakes. Substitute tangerines or any orange-related citrus and crushed red chile flakes, if necessary.

Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Add the shrimp, bring the water back to a boil, and cook until they turn bright orange and are done, about 2 minutes. Drain the shrimp and let cool to room temperature. Peel and discard the shells and legs from the shrimp, leaving their tails attached.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the peeled shrimp with the remaining ingredients, except the salt, and toss until evenly combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. Stir the shrimp and season with salt before serving.
