Prawn Tacos (Shrimp) - with Chipotle Lime Marinade
Recipe video above. Chipotle is the power ingredient here, adding a stack of flavour and a hit of heat to this zesty, earthy, Mexican marinade for prawns. Perfectly paired with a creamy-yet-zingy Slaw with the trademark juiciness and floppiness of traditional Coleslaw, but made lighter with no mayonnaise which is too heavy for prawns. The Pink Taco Sauce is my quick sauce of choice here, but there's enough juiciness in the Slaw and Tacos that you could forgo it - or just add a dash of your favourite hot sauce, or just a dollop of plain sour cream.LEMON alternative - use lemon when limes are not in season. Albeit not traditional Mexican, it works perfectly!SPICE LEVEL: Medium, chipotle is a bit spicy! You can dial it down.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Mix Marinade ingredients in a bowl, then toss the prawns in the marinade.
2
Set aside for just ⏱️ 20 minutes - no longer. Even ⏱️ 5 minutes is enough.
3
Warm a serving bowl using any method (microwave ⏱️ 1 minute, hot water then dry).
4
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add half the prawns and cook each side for ⏱️ 60 seconds (or on a BBQ on high heat, suggest double skewer for easy rotation).
5
Transfer to warmed bowl, loosely cover with foil. Cook the remaining prawns.
6
Serve with Slaw, Pink Taco Sauce, warmed tortillas and lime wedges.
Lime wedges (highly recommended)
7
TACO SLAW:
8
Place all ingredients in a very large bowl then toss well (I use my hands!).
9
Set aside for at least ⏱️ 1 hour until the cabbage becomes wilted and floppy. Keeps for 3 days!
10
PINK TACO SAUCE:
11
Mix ingredients and adjust Sriracha to your taste. Mix well - sour cream becomes looser the more you mix it.
