Sriracha Prawn Tacos: A British Twist on a Mexican Classic
Ingredients:
- For the Prawns:
- 450 grams of prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons of Uni-Eagle Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of honey or agave syrup
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Slaw:
- 2 cups of shredded cabbage (a colourful mix of red and green is visually appealing)
- 1/4 cup of thinly sliced red onions
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh coriander
- 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of honey or agave syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Avocado Lime Sauce:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup of soured cream or Greek yoghurt
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon of Uni-Eagle Sriracha sauce
- Salt to taste
- Additional Ingredients:
- Small corn or flour tortillas
- Extra lime wedges for serving
- Additional fresh coriander for garnish
Instructions:
- Marinate the Prawns:
- Mix the Uni-Eagle Sriracha sauce, olive oil, honey, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss the prawns in this marinade until well coated. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare the Slaw:
- In another bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, red onions, fresh coriander, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Toss until the slaw is evenly coated. Set aside to let the flavours blend.
- Make the Avocado Lime Sauce:
- Puree the ripe avocado, soured cream or Greek yoghurt, lime juice, Uni-Eagle Sriracha sauce, and a pinch of salt until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, a little water can be added to achieve the desired consistency.
- Cook the Prawns:
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the prawns from the marinade and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Warm the tortillas on a skillet, grill, or directly over a gas flame for a few seconds on each side.
- To assemble, lay a generous amount of the slaw on each tortilla, top with several prawns, drizzle with the avocado lime sauce, and garnish with extra fresh coriander.
- Serving:
- Present your Sriracha Prawn Tacos immediately, alongside lime wedges for that additional zest.
