TASTE's take

Jacques Erasmus of Hemelhuis in Cape Town recreated this recipe for TASTE after visiting Vietnam where he was served it on a junk in Ha Long Bay. He was shown how to squeeze mandarin juice over a bowl of salt then plunge the peeled prawns into the bowl, followed by a dab of cayenne pepper and chilli. He says it's truly one of the most exciting flavour combinations he's ever experienced.
