  • 2 small carrots cut into matchsticks
  • 40g red cabbage finely sliced

For the Dressing

Additional Ingredients

  • 4 mini tortilla wraps or soft tacos
  • 1 teaspoon butter for cooking - you can also use a oil of your choice.

Instructions

  • Wash, dry and season the prawns with salt, black pepper, garlic granules, onion granules, paprika and chilli powder then place in the fridge for 1 hour. During this time, you can prepare the vegetables and make the dressing. To make the dressing, combine all the dressing ingredients together in a bowl then place in the fridge.
  • Heat the butter in a frying pan on a medium heat until the butter melts and just begins to turn brown then add in the prawns. Cook for 2 minutes then turn each prawn over and cook for another 2 minutes. Ensure the prawns are cooked throughout. Remove from the heat and set aside while you warm your tortillas. See recipe tips below.
  • Assemble the tacos by adding the vegetables to the warmed tortillas in any order you like. Add the cooked prawns then add the sour cream dressing if using. Time to enjoy!
