- Cover and refrigerate coleslaw for at least 30 minutes.
Spicy Taco Sauce
- In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, paprika, and chipotle powder.
- Stir to combine and refrigerate until ready to use.
Tortilla Bowls
- There are a few ways to make tortilla bowls.
- The easiest way is to use a tortilla pan (see above). To use this method, preheat your oven to 350°F, place one 10” tortilla shell into each tortilla pan, and bake for 7-10 minutes until shells are crispy and hold their shape. Remove shells from pans and set aside until ready to assemble the bowls.
- See above for other options to DIY tortilla shell bowls!
Blackening Seasoning & Shrimp
- In a small bowl combine paprika, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, cumin, pepper, chipotle, and cayenne. Mix to combine.
- Place the tiger prawns into a large bowl and dab with a paper towel to remove any excess water.
- Sprinkle the blackening seasoning over top of the shrimp and toss to fully combine. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- In a large fry pan, add the cooking oil and heat up until the oil shimmers.
- Add the prawns into the fry pan and cook for 7-10 minutes until the prawns are fully cooked.
To assemble the Blackened Shrimp Taco Bowls
- Place a prepared tortilla bowl onto a plate.
- Place ¼ of the coleslaw into the tortilla bowl.
- Place approx. 8 of the prepared tiger prawns on top of the coleslaw.
- Drizzle with prepared spicy taco sauce.
- Serve with a wedge of fresh lime.
