WOW!!!! My husband bought the ingredients for this recipe, and I thought he was crazy, wanting to pickle shrimp. This was amazing, and will be making it all the time. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.

I made the pickled shrimp, sans chicken broth, and it was treat! However, I would'nt cook for more than one minute because aftering pouring the liquid ovet the shrimp, it ended up making them a bit tough, but VERY tasty. I liked the brine mixture so much that I made more and poured it over a dozen hard cooked eggs, and after two days in the fridge, I couldn't resist, and they were awesome! Give it a try1

Just to add my viewpiont to the rest. I think that Bobby clearly said DILL WEED. There was no mention of chix broth in the TV demo. Just the homemade veg stock. I appreciate all the tweeks and will be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as mine will not be that nice and big!
