In a non-reactive pan add the following:
1/4 cup of pickling salt
4 cups water
3 cups of vinegar (2 cups white wine vinegar and 1 cup red and green pepper vinegar (it gives it a little bite)
1 garlic clove peeled and smashed
2 tablespoons of pickling spice ( McCormick ) Tied in cheese cloth
2 to 4 pounds medium prawns
Recipe
Bring ingredients to a boil over high heat. Add thawed raw prawns with shells on; bring back to a boil and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until they are pink (this is the tricky part you don't want to over cook them). Remove from heat, transfer prawns with slotted spoon to glass bowl, and cover with some of the liquid. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Arrange on platter with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce. This recipe can be cut in half for smaller batches.
