📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil.
2
Make an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice. Nestle a medium bowl in the ice (this will chill the shrimp quickly without making them waterlogged).
3
Reduce the water to a simmer and add the shrimp. Give them a stir, then cover and turn off the heat. Let the shrimp sit until pink, curled, and opaque throughout, 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to the bowl set over the ice bath. Gently stir every few minutes to cool them down.
4
Meanwhile, make the marinade. In a large bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, lemon juice and zest, parsley, cilantro, garlic, sugar, pepper, and salt until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Add the bay leaves, chiles, onion, and cooled shrimp and toss to combine.

5
Cover and refrigerate the shrimp for at least ⏱️ 24 hours and up to 2 days, allowing the flavors to soak in deeply. Give the shrimp a stir once or twice during that time to ensure they marinate evenly.
6
Remove the bay leaves before serving. Serve chilled or at cool room temperature.
