vinegar

My mom and dad always use vinegar and I never understood why.

Their shrimp come out great.

But it's not like you taste the vinegar or anything. I despise vinegar...the smell of it makes me sick. My wife like red wine vinegarette (spl?) and the smell is so horrid that I always throw the bottle away when I see it in the fridge.

So anyway, what is the purpose of vinegar?
