Wild Alaska spot prawns are marinated in lime, cilantro and garlic, seared, and layered into warm tortillas with a creamy Greek yogurt cabbage slaw and sriracha sauce.

Ingredients

1.5 lb Wild Alaska Spot Prawns, thawed and peeled
Flour or corn tortillas
Avocado
1 tbsp olive oil, for the skillet
Fresh cilantro, for topping
Lime, for serving

Marinade for prawns:

1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lime juice (approx. two limes)
3 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1.5 tbsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp salt

Cabbage Slaw:

1/2 head of green cabbage, finely chopped
1/2 onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup plain greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lime juice
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Taco Sauce:

1 cup plain greek yogurt (or sour cream)
2-3 tbsp sriracha sauce

Directions

Prawn Marinade:

Mix all ingredients in a bowl, add prawns and marinate for 20-30 minutes. While prawns marinate, prepare cabbage slaw and sauce.

Cabbage Slaw:

Whisk greek yogurt, olive oil, lime juice, cilantro in small bowl until combined and creamy.
Pour over remaining ingredients in a larger bowl and toss well.

To cook prawns:

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in large skillet on medium-high heat.
Add prawns (with marinade mixture) and cook 2-3 minutes, turning once, until opaque in the center.

To assemble tacos:

We prefer to warm the tortillas individually in a small skillet or on the stove, but you can also wrap them in a damp paper towel, then foil, and warm in a 250°F oven for 10 minutes.
Layer the cabbage slaw, prawns, and taco sauce in the tortillas and top with fresh cilantro, fresh avocado, and lime.
This is a J. Besecker family favorite.
