Bake the tomatoes on the salt for 5 minutes or until just soft. Add the prawns. Bake for 8 minutes or until prawns curl and change colour. Use tongs to transfer to a plate.

Step 3

Meanwhile, to make the coriander pistou, process the coriander, oil, pistachio, garlic and lemon rind in a food processor until smooth. Season.

Step 4

Whisk the lemon juice, oil and sugar in a bowl. Season.

Step 5

Divide coriander pistou, prawns, tomato and watercress among plates. Drizzle over lemon juice mixture.

If whole star anise is unavailable, use 1 tsp ground star anise.
