Directions

1Put the crawfish tails and onion in a large glass container.

2Bring 1 cup water, the vinegar, olive oil, garlic, peppercorns, allspice, coriander seeds, celery seeds, fennel seeds, mustard seeds, dill seeds, red pepper flakes, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, cloves, star anise, sugar, and ginger to a boil in a nonreactive saucepan.

3Cook for 5 minutes.
-
4Pour the hot liquid over the crawfish and onion.
-
5Let cool, then cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
-
6If you like, 1 1/2 pounds peeled boiled shrimp can be substituted for the crawfish in this recipe.

7I like to serve these with assorted pickled peppers and vegetables for a spicy snack with cocktails or on top of leafy green salads.
-
8Quite good stirred into pasta salads, too.
-
9This pickling-spice mixture works well with many recipes that call for pickling spice.
