Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Pickling the Onions

    In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced red onions, lemon juice, and salt. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle.

  2. 2

    Making the Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, mix together the shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Marinating the Prawns

    In a bowl, toss the prawns with olive oil and spice mix. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Grilling the Prawns

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated prawns for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and slightly charred.

  2. 5

    Warming the Tortillas

    Warm the flour tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Constructing the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer the coleslaw, grilled prawns, pickled onions, and top with pea shoots and fresh cilantro. Roll it up like a hand-roll taco.
