Cooking Liquid
8 cups water
1 large stalk celery, coarsely chopped (2/3 cup)
1 large carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped (2/3 cup)
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
3 fresh parsley sprigs
3 fresh thyme sprigs
2 garlic cloves
5 peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
Shrimp
2 lbs uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup cider vinegar

1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dill seed
1 large onion, thinly sliced
12 peppercorns
6 bay leaves
6 garlic cloves
6 whole cloves

1
For the cooking liquid, in a large pot combine all the cooking liquid ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain, discarding the solids. Let the liquid cool in the pot.
2
For the shrimp, add the shrimp to the cooled cooking liquid. Heat over medium-high heat for 8 minutes (it is OK if it does not come to a simmer or a boil). Turn off the heat, cover, and let the shrimp sit in the cooking liquid for 2 to 3 minutes more or until opaque. Drain, reserving the liquid.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together the cider vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and dill seeds. Add the shrimp and let stand for 15 minutes.
4
In each of six 8-ounce jars, layer the shrimp and onion slices; add 2 peppercorns, 1 bay leaf, 1 garlic clove, and 1 whole clove to each jar. Divide the vinegar mixture among the jars. Top off each jar with the reserved cooking liquid. Screw the lids on tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Discard bay leaves.
