Prawn Tacos with Vampire Relish

Prawn Tacos with Vampire Relish

Garlic and chilli lifted with lime juice and prawns!

If you can’t find hard taco shells, you can make some from tortillas, but there is a risk they’ll break when you take them off the rack. They’re still useable and tasty, but they don’t look as impressive.

 

Makes 8 tacos

Ingredients

3 red peppers (chopped into bite size pieces)

2 medium size onions (sliced or diced)

1 stick of celery (1cm slices)

200g raw king prawns (if using cooked, add at end to warm through)

1tbsp Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oil with Garlic

Fajita seasoning

2tbsp lime juice

8 hard shell tacos (or 4 tortillas, small is best)

Vampire Relish

Chilli & Lime Mayonnaise (optional)

Fresh corriander, optional (chopped)


Instructions:


If using tortillas:

  1. Cut tortillas in half and drape them over the rack in the oven so they form taco shapes.
  2. Bake at 160 fan for 8-10 mins or until they’d crisp and hold their shape, but before they darken. Turn off the oven and leave them in there to keep warm.


Filling:

  1. Heat the garlic oil in a large pan over a low heat. Then add the onions and cook until soft and sweet. You can chop your veg while the onions cook. 
  2. Once the onions are soft and sweet, add the peppers and celery and bring the heat to medium.
  3. Season with a little fajita spice, stir and taste. Add more as needed, but remember you will add more chilli with the Vampire Relish.
  4. Once the veg is cooked but still has some crunch, add the prawns and cook until the prawns are pink and opaque.
  5. Turn off the heat, stir in some lime juice and taste. Add more lime juice if desired.
  6. To assemble your taco, simply layer the prawns and veg in the taco shell, then Vampire Relish,  Chilli Lime Mayo or sour cream if using, and coriander if using. Enjoy!
