Ingredients
For the Prawns
- 500 gm Pre-Marinated Prawns (e.g., licious)
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 clove Garlic crushed
For the Coconut-Mustard Dipping Sauce
- 1 cup Coconut Cream
- 2 tbsp Mustard Sauce
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Pepper black, or to taste
- 1 tbsp Lime Juice for extra zing, optional
Instructions
Prepare the Prawns and Oven
- Defrost the prawns completely. Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).

- Lightly grease a baking dish with a small amount of the garlic butter mixture.
Bake the Prawns

- Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the prawns and bake for another 15 minutes, or until cooked through and pink.
Make the Dipping Sauce
- While the prawns are baking, whisk together the coconut cream, salt, pepper, and mustard sauce in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Stir in lime juice (if using).
Serve
- Once the prawns are cooked, remove from the oven and serve immediately with the coconut-mustard dipping sauce.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Baked Prawns
- For extra flavor, marinate the prawns in a little lime juice and garlic for 30 minutes before baking.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish; ensure prawns are in a single layer for even cooking.
- Adjust the amount of pepper to your preference; you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
- Garnish the finished dish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions for a vibrant touch.
