INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 quarts water
  • 1/4 cup coarse salt
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 5 sprigs dill
  • 2 pounds medium shrimp, with shells
  •  
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Add salt, sugar, and dill sprigs; stir until sugar has dissolved.
