Preparation:

1. Clean the prawns and remove the back vein. Slit the prawn lengthwise without cutting in half. Boil until just cooked and set aside.
2. Mix lemongrass, lime juice, chillies, fish sauce, shallot, kaffir lime leaves and mint leaves together in a small bowl. This creates the spicy dressing.
3. Pour the spicy dressing over the prawns.
4. Garnish with mint leaves.

Note : Typically, Thai people use semi-cooked prawns for this particular dish.
