No-Cook Prawn Tacos

Recipe / Naomi Sherman

After a long, hot day by the pool, you don’t want to be cooking but you still want a fresh and fun dinner. This delicious family-style meal can be on the table in under 15 minutes.

Serves: 4

500g prawns, cooked & peeled
1 tbsp taco seasoning
Zest & juice 1 lime
1 tsp chilli flakes

Dressing

½ cup Ranch dressing
Zest 1 lime
½ cup coriander leaves, chopped

To Serve

1 avocado, peeled & sliced
Juice of 1 lime
8 taco tortillas
1 small bag of colourful slaw
¼ red onion, sliced

1. Place the prawns, taco seasoning, lime juice and zest and chilli flakes into a large mixing bowl and toss gently until well combined. Store in the fridge while you gather the remaining ingredients.

2. Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.

3. Drizzle the avocado slices with the lime juice and set aside.

4. Warm the tortillas in the microwave to make them soft and pliable.
