  1. Make  sure  the  prawns  are  rinsed,  peeled,  and  de-veined.  Pat  dry  with  a  kitchen  towel  before processing  it  in  a  food  processor.  Process  until  it becomes a paste.  Transfer  into  a  sizable  bowl  and  toss  in  the  salt, sugar,  pepper,  and  tapioca  starch.  Mix  thoroughly until well combined.
