  • 1
    Put the shrimps, garlic, lime zest, chilli powder, cumin, salt black pepper, paprika, oregano and cayenne pepper in a bowl and mix together. Leave to rest for 15 to 30 minutes at room temperature. In the meantime, prepare the avocado cream.
  • 2
    Cut the avocado in half and remove the stone. Remove the flesh with a spoon and put into a bowl. Peel the garlic and chop finely. Puree the avocados, garlic, mayonnaise, lime juice and salt with a blender or mash with a fork. Stir in the cream or sour cream.
  • 3
    Place the Toughened Non-Stick 28cm deep frying pan over a medium heat, add the butter and olive oil and fry the shrimp for a few minutes on each side until they are still tender but well done.

    Drizzle with the lime juice and sprinkle with coriander.
  • 5
    Brush the tortillas with a little oil on each side. Individually fry them in the pan for half a minute on each side. Place them over a rolling pin and shape them into a taco. To fill the tacos place them side by side in a dish like a Le Creuset 3-ply Stainless Steel square roaster so that they hold each other up and do not fall over. Fill them with the coriander-lime prawns, mango salsa, grated red cabbage and cheese. Serve the avocado cream separately.
