Instructions
 

Prepare the Prawns and Oven

  • Defrost the prawns completely. Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).

Sauté Garlic in Butter

  • Melt the butter in a small pan over low heat. Add the crushed garlic and cook for about 15 seconds, until fragrant. Do not brown.

Prepare the Baking Dish

  • Lightly grease a baking dish with a small amount of the garlic butter mixture.

Bake the Prawns

  • Arrange the prawns in the prepared baking dish. Brush lightly with the remaining garlic butter mixture.
  • 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.
