Garlic Lime Shrimp Tacos

The Prawns

• 1½ lbs prawns, peeled
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 limes, juiced
• 1 tsp chilli powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt

1. 01Toss and rest 15 minutes. Don't go longer — lime cooks them.
2. 02Sear in a ripping hot pan, 1–2 minutes a side, until just opaque and charred in spots.

Salsa de Aguacate

• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 jalapeño
• ½ cup cilantro
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 lime, juiced
• ¼ cup water
• Salt

1. 01Blend until it pours.

King's notes

• Overcooked prawns go rubber. Pull them the second they curl.
• Cabbage is structural. It stops the salsa flooding the tortilla.
