How to make Prawns in Escabèche

Toss together onion, vinegar, oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt in a shallow glass or ceramic dish.

Simmer oil, bay leaves, garlic, and peppercorns in a small saucepan 10 minutes, then let stand until ready to use.

Add prawns to a medium pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 3.8L water), then remove from heat and let stand, uncovered, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain well, then stir into onion mixture along with oil mixture.

Chill prawns in escabeche, covered when cool, stirring occasionally, at least 12 hours. Discard bay leaves and serve prawns cold or at room temperature.
