  1. Mix the prawns with the Cajun seasoning, garlic, salt and black pepper until evenly coated.

  2. Toss the shredded cabbage with half the lime juice and a pinch of salt, then leave it to soften while you cook the prawns.

  3. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the prawns for 2–3 minutes on each side until pink, opaque and lightly charred.

  4. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan for 20–30 seconds on each side, keeping them soft and pliable.

  5. Fill each tortilla with cabbage, prawns, red onion and avocado. Spoon over the sour cream and finish with the remaining lime juice.

  6. Serve the tacos immediately with any remaining lime wedges and sour cream.

Notes

Warm the tortillas just before serving and add the lime at the table.
