when i was in malaysia in 2004, i ate this dish in a vietnamese restaurant and it was delicious. They serve the prawns hanging around the rim of the coconut. i did not have a recipe but i did try making it and it turned out ok. i added some wine to the soup.
lily,
if the prawns were hanging around the rim of the coconut then did they have the coconut flavor?

i am sorry, the prawns were cooked in the coconut juice. they are hanging at the rim for garnishing and presentation only
