  • Step 3: Put cooked shrimp, raw onion slices, and Bay leaves in a container.

  • Step 4: Pour sauce over all. Fold gently to incorporate the sauce evenly.

  • Step 5: Cover the container, and let it remain in the refrigerator at least 24 hours. (It is not necessary, but I do stir them once or twice in the 24-hour period. It is an excuse to sample one).
