Marinated cooked shrimp, or Escabeche, is originally from Spain. In this updated version, the shrimp marinade is prepared with pickling spice and rice vinegar. Colorful mango, poblano chiles and radishes are marinated in the same piquant mixture.

1 cup julienned peeled mango (about 1 mango)
1/2 cup julienned poblano chilies
1/2 cup julienned radishes
1/8 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. mixed pickling spice
1 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup coconut rum
