Preparation

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the prawns and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and allow to cool. To toast the sesame seeds, place in a dry pan over medium heat. Be sure to keep the pan moving, as once the oils begin to be released, browning occurs quickly.

Juice the lime into a bowl and add all the remaining ingredients.
When the prawns have cooled, add them to the marinade and allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes. To serve, place on a plate and sprinkle the sesame seeds over top.
