Method:

  8. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  9. Put the egg whites in a shallow bowl and the coconut into a separate bowl.
  10. Roll each prawn first in the egg whites, then in the coconut.
  11. Thread onto a skewer.
  12. Repeat so that each skewer is threaded with 3 coated prawns.
  13. Preheat the grill to high.
  14. Peel long strips from the cucumber to create ribbons, put into a colander to drain, then toss with the spring onions and oil in a bowl and set aside.
  15. Cook the prawns under the preheated grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until slightly browned.
  16. Mix the rice with the toasted coriander seeds and fresh coriander and divide this and the cucumber salad between bowls.
  17. Serve with the hot prawn skewers.
