How to make Coconut prawns Tacos With Mango Salsa and Avocado coriander Sauce

Preheat the oven to 204°C. Place a wire rack on top of a large baking sheet, coat with cooking spray, and set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut and paprika and season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water.

Make an assembly line with the prawns, egg wash, coconut mixture, and prepared baking sheet. Dip the prawns in the egg wash, then dredge in the coconut, lightly shaking off any excess, then place the coated prawns on the baking rack. Repeat with the remaining prawns, spacing them out evenly on the baking rack so they will get crispy instead of steaming.

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the prawns are cooked through and the coconut has started to brown.

While the prawns are cooking, make the salsa and sauce. In a medium bowl, toss together the salsa ingredients and set aside.

In a food processor or high-powered blender, add the sauce ingredients and 80ml water. Pulse until smooth, adjusting the seasonings to your taste. If desired, spoon the sauce into a small zip-top bag and cut the tip off of one of the bottom corners (like you would to make a piping bag for icing), just enough to make a small hole. This will make it easier to drizzle your sauce more evenly, but you could also just use a spoon.

To assemble the tacos, place 3 to 4 prawns on a tortilla or lettuce cup, top with shredded cabbage, a spoonful of salsa, and an avocado slice. Pipe or drizzle the sauce over the top.
