For the prawns:

For the sauce:
1. Add into a small saucepan the water and half of the butter (125g) and place on medium heat.
2. Allow the butter to melt but not boil.
3. Once the butter has melted, remove from the heat and carefully blend on a low speed using a stick blender.
4. Continue blending and add small cubes of the remaining butter piece by piece.
