Ingredients

  • 360 g King prawns (I used frozen)
  • 2 tbsp Sunflower oil
  • 4 tsp Cajun spice

For the slaw:

  • 1/2 White cabbage
  • 1 Red onion

For the dressing:

  • 250 g Greek yoghurt
  • Zest and juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tsp Honey
  • 2 tsp Mint sauce

To serve:

  • 1 Avocado
  • 8 Small tortillas

Instructions

  • First, make the dressing in a bowl. Make the slaw by shredding the cabbage and onion, and mix with HALF the dressing. (Save the rest of the dressing.)
  • Add the oil to a hot, large frying pan. Add the prawns, then spices, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Toast the tortillas (see notes), then add the slaw and prawns on top with the avocado slices.
  • Serve with extra dressing drizzled on top.

Notes

Toasting the tortillas: Hold very carefully over an open flame on a gas hob with tongs. Alternatively, fold over the tortillas and put into the toaster slots, or you can pop in the oven for three or four minutes instead.
