Salt baking is a method which helps evenly cook and season whatever is inside. Don’t worry about this being too salty, the shells on the prawns will prevent the flesh from the salt crust. This is a lovely alternative way of cooking and one which will wow your guests when you serve it at the table and break the crust!

Crab au Gratin

Chilli crab is a national dish in Singapore and it’s easy to see why. The rich sauce is a perfect combination of a little bit sweet and a little bit spicy, and is so moreish you’ll be mopping your plate. Traditionally made using mud crabs with the shell on and eaten with your hands, things can get pretty messy! This version uses soft shell crabs, making preparation less stressful and a little simpler, and eating a lot less messy.
