Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 100 grams Shredded red cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 medium Avocado (sliced)
- 100 grams Fresh pico de gallo or salsa
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha or hot sauce
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the prawns, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the prawns evenly. Let the prawns marinate for 10 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated prawns in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the prawns are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable. Stack them on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
Assemble the tacos by placing a layer of shredded red cabbage onto each tortilla. Top with a few cooked prawns, sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a spoonful of pico de gallo or salsa.
Drizzle lightly with sriracha or your preferred hot sauce for an extra kick of spice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free spicy prawn tacos!
