Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the prawns, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Toss to coat the prawns evenly with the spices.
Lightly spray a non-stick skillet with olive oil spray and heat over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned prawns to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Meanwhile, prepare the lime yogurt sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt, lime zest, and lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, grated carrot, and cilantro to create the slaw.
To assemble the tacos, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Divide the slaw evenly among the tortillas, then top with the cooked prawns.
Drizzle each taco with the lime yogurt sauce and garnish with sliced jalapeño and avocado (if using).
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat spicy prawn tacos!
