Prawns Steamed in Coconut

Intro:
This is an extremely easy to make appetizer that illustrates the lightness of Vietnamese food. The sweetness of shrimp combined with coconut juice is delicious on their own. No spice is needed. Excellent with beer!

Ingredients:
-2 large young coconuts
-1lb prawns (approx.)
-salt

What to Do:
Chop off the “caps” of the coconuts and drain the juice. Wash and drain prawns. Arrange prawns inside the coconuts. Boil coconut juice with a pinch of salt. Ladle juice back into coconuts to completely cover the prawns. Steam immediately over high heat for about 20-30 mins. Serve hot.

Note:
If fresh coconuts are not available, use frozen or canned coconut juice and steam in a bowl.
