4 black peppercorns

2 cups peeled and deveined fresh rock shrimp or red shrimp (about 12 ounces)
1/2 cup Pickled Peppers, recipe follows
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

2 teaspoons ketchup

2 cups distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 jalapeño, sliced

Steps:

Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add the peppercorns and lime and return to a boil. Add the shrimp, then turn off the heat. Stir and let sit until the shrimp is pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Immediately transfer the shrimp to an ice bath. When cold, drain thoroughly.
Place the shrimp, Pickled Peppers, lime juice, orange juice, onions, cilantro, scallions, ketchup and salt to taste in a large bowl. Stir until completely combined, then serve.
Heat the vinegar, salt and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until the salt and sugar dissolve. Pour the brine into a heatproof container and add 1 cup ice. Stir until cool. Place the jalapeños, red peppers and yellow peppers in another container and pour the brine over them. Let sit for at least 6 hours. The pickles will keep, covered in the refrigerator, for about 1 month.
