Prawn Tacos
Don't be put off by 'taco' - these are nothing like those packet mixes you get from the supermarket! This was great on a hot summer's evening - it requires minimal stove time and is quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients
- whole
- 12 whole peeled green prawns
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp all-spice
- 1 tbsp olive or vegetable oil
- whole
- 1/2 medium onion diced
- 1 large tomato diced
- 1 large ear of corn kernels sliced off cob
- 1/2 large green capsicum diced
- handful coriander and parsley finely chopped
- clove garlic finely chopped
- whole
- whole Tortillas
- container Sour cream (or natural yoghurt)
- slice Lime wedges
- slice Avocado
- slice Cucumber
Directions
- Mix spices and oil together, then marinate the prawns in mixture for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat some more oil in a frypan to medium-high. Add onion and garlic and cook for a few minutes until onion has softened. Add remaining vegetables and cook for about 5 more minutes. Remove from pan and set aside, keeping warm.
- In the same pan, add some more oil and then put in your prawns. I like to place them in and then turn them once during cooking so they get a nice little crust on them. Once the prawns have started turning pink, add back in your vegetable mix. Continue cooking until everything is hot and cooked through.
- Heat up your tortillas, then set everything out on the table. Stuff the tortillas with whatever ingredients take your fancy. Crack open a Corona (or other Mexican beer) and enjoy!
