These might be good at a Superbowl party. From Texas Cooking Online:

Combine the water, salt and lemon halves in a Dutch oven, and bring to a
boil. Add the shrimp, stir, and boil gently for 4-5 minutes. Remove from
heat and drain.

Combine the vinegar, olive oil, chiles, cilantro and garlic in a large
zip-top plastic bag or other plastic container. Add the boiled shrimp, and
refrigerate for 12 hours or overnight, turning several times.

To serve, drain liquid from shrimp. In a large bowl, combine chilled shrimp
with additional cilantro, green onions and black pepper, and toss well.
Arrange in a serving dish, and serve immediately.
