Salt Baked Prawns

Salt Baked Prawns is all about clean sweetness from prawns wrapped in a bold, fragrant salt crust. Coarse salt is perfumed with bay leaves, star anise, dried ginger, Sichuan pepper, dried chillies (to your preferred heat), and a touch of onion, then finished with a splash of hua tiao wine for a warm, unmistakably aromatic lift.
