PRAWN TOSTADA
400g raw king prawns, peeled and deveined
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely sliced
1 tsp chili flakes, or to taste
Olive oil
1–2 ripe avocados, depending on size, peeled, stoned, and diced
4 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped
1 red chili, seeded and finely sliced
8–12 radishes, trimmed and quartered
8–12 cherry tomatoes, halved
Juice of 1 lime
2 baby gem lettuces, shredded
Small bunch of coriander, chopped
4 corn flour tortillas
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. Put the prawns, garlic, and chili flakes into a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper and a little drizzle of olive oil. Mix well, then set aside.
2. Put the avocados, spring onions, chili, radishes, and tomatoes into another bowl and mix together. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and half the lime juice. Mix well, stir in the lettuce, then the coriander, and set aside.
3. Heat a dash of oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Extract the prawns from their marinade and fry them for about 2 minutes on each side, until just cooked through. Sprinkle with the remaining lime juice and stir.
4. Toast the tortillas in a dry pan until nicely colored and beginning to crisp up.
5. Divide the salad equally between the toasted tortillas, top with the cooked prawns, and serve.
HOW TO PREPARE PRAWNS
First, twist off the head, then peel off all the shells and pull off the tail. With the tip of a sharp knife, score the prawn along the back and lift out the black vein. Rinse the prepared prawns before using.
