Ingredients

3 x 150g packs king prawns
2 tbsp cornflour
75ml olive oil
8 taco wraps or shells warmed
150g tub guacamole
1/2 iceberg lettuce shredded
170g tub salsa

Method

Place the prawns into a bowl and add the cornflour with ½ tbsp each of salt and ground black pepper. Toss everything together until the prawns have an even coating.
Warm the oil in a frying pan and cook the prawns in batches for 2-3 mins until they are crisp and fully cooked. Use a slotted spoon to take them out of the pan.
Heat the taco wraps, then fill them with the cooked prawns, guacamole, shredded lettuce, salsa and soured cream. Offer lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
