Ingredients

• 1 large ripe mango, diced finely (about 5 mm³)
• 1 large avocado, diced finely
• 1 spring onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon flaked sea salt
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 fresh jalapeños
• 2 cobs of corn, steamed
• 800g raw prawns, peeled and roughly chopped
• 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
• 2 tablespoons cornflour
• Peanut oil for frying
• 1/4 green cabbage, shredded
• 6 taco wraps
• Coriander sprigs for garnish

Taco Dressing

• 1/2 cup Greek yoghurt
• 2 tablespoons QP mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon chili sauce (Sriracha or Tabasco)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine diced mango, avocado, spring onion, sea salt, lime juice, and olive oil. Mix well and set aside.
2. Using a stainless steel pastry rack, grill jalapeños and corn over a gas burner or barbecue until charred (you can also use the bbq). Let them cool, then chop the jalapeños and cut the corn kernels off the cob. Add these to the mango-avocado salsa.
3. Season the chopped prawns with Old Bay seasoning and cornflour. Heat peanut oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the prawns until golden and crispy. Place on absorbent paper to drain excess oil.
4. Shred the green cabbage, rinse it, and keep it in the fridge for crispiness.
5. Prepare the taco dressing by combining Greek yogurt, QP mayonnaise, and chili sauce.
6. Grill the taco wraps on a gas hob for a charred finish.
7. To assemble, spread taco sauce on the wraps. Add shredded cabbage, mango-avocado salsa with corn and jalapeños, and top with the crispy prawns.
8. Garnish with fresh coriander sprigs.
