Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 jalapeno, sliced
1/2 head green cabbage, thinly sliced
1/2 head purple cabbage, thinly sliced
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined shrimp, tails removed
One 6-ounce can Mexican tomato sauce or enchilada sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon butter
16 corn tortillas, warmed according to the package instructions
Pico de gallo
Avocado slices
Sour cream
Grated pepper jack cheese
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • For the slaw: Combine the sliced jalapeno and shredded green and purple cabbage in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, cayenne and salt. Pour the milk mixture over the cabbage and jalapeno and toss to combine. (Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours if you have the time.) Before serving, toss in the cilantro.
  • For the shrimp: Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Throw in the shrimp and cook, tossing it around, until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the tomato or enchilada sauce, stirring to combine. Stir in the cumin and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the butter, then remove from the heat.
  • Serve the warm tortillas with the shrimp, slaw, pico de gallo, avocado slices, sour cream and pepper jack cheese, then let everyone build their own tacos. Be sure to squeeze the lime wedges over the top at the end!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality prawns. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your tacos.
  • Be sure to devein the prawns before cooking. This will remove the digestive tract and make them more palatable.
  • Cook the prawns properly. Overcooked prawns will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink in the center.
  • Use a good quality taco seasoning. This will add flavor and depth to your tacos.
  • Don't overload your tacos. Too many fillings will make them difficult to eat and will prevent you from enjoying the flavors of each ingredient.
  • Serve your tacos with a variety of toppings. This will allow your guests to customize their tacos to their liking.

Conclusion:

Prawn tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to get your kids to eat seafood. With a little planning and preparation, you can make prawn tacos that will be the hit of your next party or gathering.
