Method

Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Insert a wooden skewer lengthwise into each shrimp from end to end to prevent the shrimp from curling during blanching. Blanch the shrimp for 30 seconds. Remove immediately and refresh in ice water.
Combine the vinegar and sugar in a small bowl. Add the shrimp and let it stand for 5 minutes, then drain.
