3. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C; line an oven proof tray with baking paper.
4. Season the desiccated coconut with salt and mix well.
5. Roll each prawn in the desiccated coconut for a light and even coating. Line in the baking tray.
6. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, remove and turn sides carefully.
7. Bake for another 8-10 minutes or till done.
