How to cook

Prepare seaweed butter

Combine soy sauce & black sugar in a bowl and microwave on high for 15 secs. Meanwhile, roughly chop seaweed into small pieces of about 0.5cm or so.
Add chopped seaweed and salted butter into the bowl of soy sauce and sugar.
Mix until there are no streaks of butter left in the mixture, then set aside.

Prepare prawns

Butterfly cut the topside of the prawn body just after the head all the way to the tail without cutting through the other side, as you would do to a hot dog bun.
Toss to coat in seaweed butter mixture and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Start cooking

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Spread the prawns open & place the prawn shell side down onto a tray.
Place tray on top oven rack and roast the prawns until pink and opaque.
Alternatively, you can use a pan over medium-high heat, place the prawn shell side down, and cook for about 2-3 mins covered and 1 min uncovered until cooked.
Remove prawns from the oven and put some butter over them, letting the heat melt them.
Garnish with spring onions and serve immediately.
