shopping tips:

• head down to an asian grocers to get the best deal on a whole box of mangoes...pick up the kaffir lime leaves and sweet chili sauce whilst you're there
• I used colossal prawns to reduce the amount of fiddling with filo pastry and de-veining...but smaller prawns are just as fine (but more work and less 'dramatic')
• crack a coconut in half and use it as bowls for the ice cream
