How to Make Baked Prawns With Pepper And Garlic

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Rinse 500g of prawns under cold water. Carefully cut off the feelers and make a slit down the back of each prawn to remove the vein.
Pat the prawns dry with paper towels and arrange them in a single layer in an oven-safe dish.
In a mortar and pestle, coarsely pound 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh coriander, 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns, and 4 cloves of garlic.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a small frying pan over medium heat.
Add the pounded coriander, pepper, and garlic mixture to the hot oil. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Remove from heat.
Pour the fragrant sauce evenly over the prawns. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the prawn shells turn bright pink/red and the prawns are cooked through.
Serve immediately on a beautiful platter. Garnish with extra coriander (optional) and enjoy!
