1. Add the shrimp to boiling water, reduce the heat, and simmer until they turn bright red and curl, about 2 minutes. Drain, peel, and devein the shrimp, leaving on the tail. Place in a mixing bowl.
Makes 4 first-course servings or 8 hors d'oeuvre servings
2. In a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine the orange juice, oil, lemon juice, wine, 6 of the lemon slices, onions, the bay leaves, garlic, peppercorns, and red pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then pour the hot mixture over the shrimp. Let cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. 3. Bring the marinated shrimp to room temperature. Lift the shrimp and half the onions from the marinade and set aside. For a first course, line each of 4 plates with 2 lettuce leaves. Add one-quarter of the shrimp, an uncooked lemon slice, some onions and olives. For an hors d'oeuvre, line a platter with the lettuce. Top with the shrimp. Arrange the marinated onions, uncooked lemon slices, and the olives around the shrimp.
