Mustard Seed

Directions:

1

For the shrimp: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F

3

Place the shrimp on a sheet tray and drizzle with the olive oil

4

Sprinkle with the seafood seasoning mixture

5

Put in the oven and bake for 8 minutes

For the marinade: Toast the seeds in a dry pan over low heat for a few minutes, until just toasted and giving off a nutty aroma

10

When the shrimp come out of the oven, put them into the marinade to let cool

11

Wrap the bowl tightly with two layers of plastic wrap

12

Put the bowl in the refrigerator and marinate, turning the shrimp in the bowl occasionally to mix well, for at least 8 hours and for up to 24 hours before serving

13

Also put a large glass bowl in the fridge to chill, for serving the shrimp

14

To serve: Strain and reserve the liquid from the shrimp using a medium sieve or strainer so the seeds can pass through (but it's ok if some remain in the shrimp)

15

Put the shrimp in the chilled glass bowl

16

Add some of the marinade back to the shrimp and toss

17

The shrimp should not be swimming in the marinade
