Notes

For added flavor, toast mustard and coriander seeds lightly in a pan before adding them to the marinade. Use fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best results. Frozen shrimp are fine, but ensure they are thawed completely. Store the marinated shrimp in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, always keeping them submerged in the marinade. Consider using apple cider vinegar as a substitute for white vinegar or swap shrimp for cooked calamari rings for a different twist.
