1 tablespoon of Thai red curry paste
2 tablespoons brown sugar or jaggery
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
350g raw prawns, peeled and de-veined

Thai prawn baked sweet potatoes - the ingredients

Method

Place the sweet potatoes on a baking tray as they tend to leave a sticky residue while cooking
Bake for about 45 to 55 minutes or until soft to the press
Meanwhile, mix the oil, lime juice, Thai paste, sugar and seasoning
Stir in the prawns and marinate while the potatoes cook
Put the grill on high, slide the prawns on to a foil-lined grill tray, pour over most of the marinade and grill for 4 minutes, turning once, but basting with the marinade
Sprinkle the coconut over the prawns and return to the grill for a minute so it toasts and browns a little
Cut a cross in the top of the potatoes and with a cloth, squeeze them together to split them open
Spoon in the prawn mixture and a little marinade
Garnish with sour cream and torn basil leaves

Serving suggestions

Serve hot with a green salad and fresh tomatoes.

Chef's notes

You could of course make this with normal potatoes I have used the fabulous green curry paste instead of Thai red curry paste.
