Prawn Tacos Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Prawns

   Start by cleaning the prawns. Rinse them under cold water, then pat dry with a paper towel. In a bowl, combine the prawns with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Toss well to coat the prawns evenly. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the Cabbage Slaw

   While the prawns are marinating, shred the cabbage finely and place it in a mixing bowl. Chop the cilantro and add it to the cabbage. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the slaw and mix well. Set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Prawns

   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated prawns and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove from heat.

4. 4

   Prepare the Avocado

   While the prawns are cooking, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and sprinkle with lime juice to prevent browning. Set aside.

5. 5

   Assemble the Tacos

   Warm the taco shells in the oven or microwave. To assemble, place a generous amount of the cabbage slaw in each taco shell, top with cooked prawns, and add a dollop of the mashed avocado. Squeeze fresh lime juice on top before serving.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the prawn tacos immediately with extra lime wedges and cilantro on the side for garnish.
