500g large grey-shelled or red-legged prawns

2 tablespoons light soy sauce

1 teaspoon sugar

½ teaspoon black pepper powder

Wash prawns, cut off feelers and make a slit down the back to de-vein.  Dry prawns well with paper towels and arrange on an oven-proof serving dish.  Pound coriander roots with pepper and garlic.  Heat oil in a small frying pan.  Add the pounded ingredients and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until fragrant.  Stir in the soy sauce and sugar and turn off the heat.  Preheat oven at 180°C.  Pour the sauce mixture over the prawns and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until shells turn bright red.  Serve.
