how to escape multiple curly brackets in C#?

Question

I need to escape the first pair of curly brackets but the second pair or the inner pair should not be escaped.

string.Format("@Neptune.ShowAlert(\{content:{0}\})", ex.Message);

I have tried the above but I get the "Unrecognized escape sequence" error.
