Chilli-lime prawn tacos with mango salsa
Charred garlicky prawns, sweet-hot mango salsa, warm tortillas — the fastest fancy dinner in the book.
Marinate the prawns while the salsa sits — everything comes together in the time it takes to warm the tortillas.
Method
- 01
Combine all salsa ingredients in a bowl. Let it sit for 10 minutes to macerate — this is where the magic happens.
- 02
Toss the prawns with garlic, paprika, cumin, chilli, lime zest and juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Leave for 10 minutes.
- 03
Heat a heavy frying pan or griddle over high heat until smoking. Add the prawns in a single layer and cook for 90 seconds a side, until pink, curled and charred at the edges. Do not overcook — they keep cooking off the heat.
- 04
Warm the tortillas in a dry pan for 20 seconds a side.
- 05
Build: avocado on the tortilla, 3–4 prawns, generous spoon of mango salsa, coriander, squeeze of lime, dot of sour cream. Repeat until everyone is full.
Keep cooking
