Its about time that I share this recipe here with you. I always include this when making a Rijsttafel (an Indonesian dinner consisting of many different dishes) This is originally intended for mussels but I prefer the prawns. The sauce can be made in advance for up to 2 days, keep in the fridge until needed

The prawns were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the prawns turned out overcooked. I think I'll reduce the cooking time next time.
