In a medium bowl, combine the sambal oelek, coconut aminos, minced garlic, lime juice, grated ginger, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
Add the prawns to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse the prawns.
