Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 200 grams Grated cheddar cheese
- 1 Avocado (sliced)
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 Jalapeño (optional, diced)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the cheese taco shells: Place 40-gram piles (about 2 tablespoons each) of grated cheddar cheese onto the parchment paper, spreading them out into thin, 5-inch circles. Bake in the oven for 6-8 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Remove the cheese circles from the oven and allow them to cool for 2 minutes. While warm, drape them over a wooden spoon suspended between two objects to form taco shell shapes. Let them cool completely.
In a small bowl, mix paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the prawns dry with a paper towel, then toss them in the spice mix to coat evenly.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the cilantro lime crema: In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Stir until well combined. Adjust with salt if needed.
Assemble the tacos: Fill each cheese shell with a few cooked prawns, sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, and diced jalapeño (if using). Drizzle with cilantro lime crema for the final touch.
Serve immediately to enjoy the ultimate keto-friendly spicy prawn tacos!
