- 3 Corn tortillas
- 180 g Shrimp
- 1 tbsp Garlic-infused olive oil
- 1 Lime
- 100 g Cucumber (optional)
- 50 g White radish (optional)
- 50 g Carrot (optional)
- 8 g Cilantro (optional)
Method
- Peel the prawns if they need it and pat them properly dry — wet prawns steam in the pan instead of catching any colour.
- Dice the cucumber small, cut the white radish and the carrot into fine matchsticks, and toss all three with the juice of half the lime and the chopped coriander. Keep the bowl cold until you serve.
- Get the garlic-infused oil shimmering in a wide pan and cook the prawns in one uncrowded layer, ninety seconds a side, until they turn opaque and curl into loose Cs.
- With the prawns already in the pan, heat the three corn tortillas one by one in a second dry skillet and stack them under a folded tea towel so they steam each other soft.
- Bring the prawn pan, the cold salad, the warm tortillas and the remaining half lime to the table, and fill each taco only as you are about to eat it.
