Prawn Fajitas with Avocado Cream

×

2 Serves.

The prawns have a quick lime, garlic & chilli marinade & only take minutes to cook. Serve in lettuce cups for a low-carb option, or add in some of our homemade (or store-bought) almond tortillas.

Cook time: 30 mins

Method

1. Prepare all the ingredients for a quick cook.
2. Make the marinade by mixing all the ingredients together in a medium ceramic or glass bowl.  Add the prawns and marinate for just a few minutes while you make the avocado cream.
3. Add all the avocado cream ingredients together into a small blender.  Pulse blend until all just combined.  Put into a bowl ready to serve.
4. Heat a pan to medium heat.  There is oil in the marinade so there is no need to add oil to a good non-stick pan.  If you don’t have one brush a little oil before adding the prawns.
5. Add the prawns to the pan, checking the heat is not too high as the prawns will burn quickly.  The prawns will only need around a minute or two on each side, depending on how thick they are.  Check the thickest end of the prawn and they will be ready when the middle is no longer translucent.
6. Serve prawns into lettuce leaves, tortillas or both, with cucumber, cress & avocado cream.  Top with fresh coriander leaves & extra chilli (optional).
