PICKLED JALAPEñOS

Steps:

• Slice Peppers: Wash peppers and cut off steams. Slice peppers into 1/4-inch thick rings. Wear gloves for this step to avoid burning your hands. And do NOT touch your eyes or any other sensitive body parts.
• Heat Jars: Place a rack into the bottom of a large pot. Fill pot with enough water to cover jars. Submerge jars in water. Bring water to a simmer, 180 degrees. Simmer jars for 10 minutes. (Since the peppers process for 10 minutes, you don't need to boil the jars.)
• Prepare the Brine: While the jars heat, combine vinegar, water, and salt medium saucepan. Boil for five minutes.
• Pack Jars. Remove jars from the water. Pack the peppers into hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Add 1/4 teaspoon Pickle Crisp to each jar, if desired.
• Add Brine. Ladle brine into jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Using a wooden chopstick, bubble tool, or soft rubber spatula, remove air bubbles. Measure headspace. Add more brine if needed.
• Clean Rim and Apply Lids. Wipe rim with clean, damp cloth. Place lid on jar. Screw on band to "fingertip tight." You should feel some resistance but you don't want to crank the band on too tight.
• Process Jars. Lower jars into pot. Water should cover jars by 1 to 2-inches after all jars are in the pot. Cover the pot. Return water to a boil. Process for 10 minutes. (Start the timer once the water returns to a boil.) Be sure to maintain a rolling boil during the entire 10 minute processing time.When processing time completes, turn off the burner and remove lid. Wait 5 minutes before removing jars from the pot. Lift the jars out of the water straight. Avoid tipping the jars. Place hot jars on a towel-lined counter or wood cutting board. Allow jars to cool for 24 hours.
• Check Seals. Press the center of the lid. It should not move. Remove outer ring. Gently try to lift the lid off the jar. It should not move. Wipe jars. Label. If any jar didn't seal, place into the refrigerator and enjoy within a week or so.
• Store: Place jars in a cool place out of direct sunlight. For best flavor, wait six weeks before enjoying the peppers.

LOUISIANA PICKLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Thinly slice 1 lemon. Zest and juice the other. Thinly slice the onion. Set aside.
• In a large measuring cup, whisk together oil, vinegar, lemon juice and zest, Creole seasoning, salt, garlic, sugar, mustard seeds, pepper flakes and a splash of Worcestershire sauce to create the pickling marinade.
• In 2 large wide mouth canning jars, layer onion slices, lemon slices, shrimp and bay leaves. Pour marinade over the layers, being careful to divide it equally between both jars. Put lids on and seal tightly. Turn jars over several times to evenly distribute marinade and mix ingredients. Do not shake. Put in fridge overnight. Turn jars over at least 2-3 more times as they marinate and before serving.

SHRIMP GRITS, PICKLED JALAPEñO, FRIED EGG

Steps:

• Place the jalapeño slices in a small heatproof bowl.
• In a small saucepan, bring the water, vinegar, sugar, and salt to a boil. Pour over the jalapeño, cover, and let cool. Once the mixture is cool, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Grind the shrimp using a meat grinder fitted with a fine (3/16-inch) die.
• Clean and dry the meat grinder and parts (you will need it again later).
• In a large, deep sauté pan over moderate heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter until foamy. Add the ground shrimp, along with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the cayenne, and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon (the shrimp will clump, but that is OK), until firm and crumbly, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and use the meat grinder fitted with a fine (3/16-inch) die to grind the shrimp 2 more times.
• Return the shrimp "grits" to the large, deep sauté pan, and add the vegetable stock, corn powder, and remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Place over moderate heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, along with the scallion and pepper. Divide the shrimp "grits" evenly among 4 shallow bowls, garnish with pickled jalapeño slices, and, if desired, top each with 1 fried egg.
