Method

1. Boil the shrimp. Combine wine, mustard seeds, red pepper flakes, bay leaves, lemon, and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Add shrimp, bring back to a boil, and cook for 2–3 minutes until shrimp just turn pink. Don't overcook. Drain and transfer to a bowl.
2. Make the marinade. Add all marinade ingredients to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped and well combined.
3. Marinate. Pour the marinade over the warm shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving — longer is better.
4. Serve cold. Serve chilled as an appetizer or starter. If you have leftovers, toss with cooked pasta and Parmesan — works hot or cold.
