HOW TO MAKE PRAWN TACOS WITH CHILLI AND SALSA
Method
- Mix together the diced tomatoes, finely chopped onion, lime juice and chopped fresh coriander. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Season the prawns with a pinch of salt and place in the frying pan and cook until pink. Add the chipotle paste into the pan and stir well until the prawns are nicely coated.
- To assemble, split the baby gem into individual leaves. Place two baby gem leaves into each taco shell. Add some of the salsa that was prepared before and the chipotle covered prawns. Add a squeeze of lime juice and a scattering of coriander to give it a fresh and zesty finish.
