Sounds good. By butter paper - do you mean grease proof/baking paper, or a wrapper off a stick of butter?

This is very similar to something I did last night. I make my own green chili powder with Jalapenos, Serranos, Anaheims, and Poblanos. I seed the chiles, and then blanch them. After a trip through a dehydrator along with fresh cilantro, I grind the chiles and cilantro with toasted cumin seeds, coriander seeds, oregano, and granulated garlic.

I used this along with some kosher salt, and lime juice as a rub with some prawns, and then grilled them. I chose to use no oil, and they were some of the best prawns I've ever cooked. The mint, coconut and the sugar would create a completely different flavor profile, making your dish a bit more complex.

Re: butter paper: I think it was meant to say, "Butter some paper to use while steaming". I'd use parchment paper.
