Instructions
In a bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, garlic, red chili flakes, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the prawns to the marinade, toss to coat evenly, and let them marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the salsa.
To make the salsa, combine halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño in a mixing bowl.
Add lime juice and salt to the salsa, then gently toss to combine. Set it aside.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Transfer the cooked prawns to a serving plate and spoon the tomato avocado salsa alongside them.
Serve immediately with lime wedges for an extra fresh squeeze of lime juice if desired.
