    This cool and refreshing make-ahead appetizer is sure to be a hit at any dinner party.

    In addition to these killer Kumquat and Fennel Smash cocktails, I also picked this make-ahead seafood appetizer to serve at our citrus themed Supper Club dinner.

    I spotted this dish over on Velva's Instagram account earlier this year and knew I had to make it sometime soon.

    Lemon Caper Marinated Shrimp

    I really enjoyed the mix of ingredients in this dish. I'm all about capers lately, and the poppy seeds were a really nice addition. It's tangy and slightly sweet. There were a lot of onions, so maybe next time I'd cut it down to one.

    It makes enough for a crowd, and was a big hit with my Supper Club.

    3lbs. large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
    1 cup fresh lemon juice
    2 white onions, sliced
    1- ½ cups rice wine vinegar
    1-cup extra virgin olive oil
    ⅓ -cup drained capers
    2 Tablespoons minced parsley
    2 teaspoons kosher salt
    1 Tablespoon poppy seeds
    2 Tablespoons minced garlic
    1 Tablespoon sugar

    Head to Tomatoes on the Vine for the full recipe.
