Ingredients
PREHEAT THE BROILER. Peel the prawns and discard the shells. Using a small sharp knife, split the prawns partially and remove the fine digestive cord. Pat the prawns dry with paper towels. Mix the marinade and combine with the prawns and let sit for 10 minutes. Prepare the sauce ingredients and mix together and set aside. Lay the prawns on a baking tray big enough to fit under the broiler. Or alternatively, you could cook them on the barbecue, weather permitting. Cook the prawns 3 minutes on one side, turn and cook for 2 minutes on the other. Turn onto a serving platter and serve with the sauce.
You can use dried coriander or cilantro as a substitute for fresh coriander in the recipe.
No you can't. Fresh coriander is when you use the leaves and ground coriander uses the seed of the plant. Their flavour is quite different from each other.
They are not equivalent. Ground coriander is the seed whereas fresh coriander is the leaf of the plant. They are different flavors and cannot be substituted.
When substituting ground coriander for fresh coriander, the general ratio is 1:3, meaning you should use one-third the amount of ground coriander as you would fresh. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of fresh coriander, you would use about 1 teaspoon of ground coriander. Keep in mind that ground spices are more concentrated, so it's best to start with less and adjust to taste.

Prawns are best purchased fresh from a fish market, or previously frozen from your local grocer. Many coastal cities features fish markets where prawns, along with other seafood, are sold fresh each day.
Prawns typically have a slightly briny, ocean-like smell, reminiscent of the sea due to their aquatic habitat. Fresh prawns should have a clean, mild scent without any overpowering or sour odors. If prawns smell overly fishy or ammonia-like, it may indicate that they are no longer fresh. Overall, a pleasant marine aroma is characteristic of fresh prawns.

You can replace coriander with cilantro, which is the leafy form of the seed, coriander. This is not an exact match, and the flavor/scent of cilantro is stronger than coriander, so be very careful. I'd replace 1tsp of dried coriander with 1/2tsp of dried cilantro or 1Tbsp of fresh, minced cilantro.Cumin might make a reasonable replacement. Depends whether you need ground or fresh.
Not if you want it to taste the same! The leaf of the same plant is cilantro.
One tbsp of fresh coriander would be one teaspoon of dried and vice-versa. That is a three to one ratio. This formula works for all herbs. Just remember 1tbsp fresh = 1 tsp. dried. Packaged dried herbs are stronger than fresh herbs, but lose their potency as they age. If the container is new then use a bit more sparingly. Fresh herbs are the way to go to get the best results.
