Ingredients
For 6 tacos

For the prawns:

400 g (0.9 lb) prawns, peeled
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp oil (neutral or olive oil)

For the mango salsa:

1 ripe mango, diced
1 avocado, diced
1/2 lime
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp chilli flakes (adjust to taste)
2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped

For the Greek yogurt sauce:

6 tbsp Greek yogurt
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 tsp honey
Pinch of salt

For the tacos:

6 small corn tortillas
Extra coriander for garnish
1/2 lime

Method

Make the mango salsa:

In a bowl, combine 1 diced mango, 1 diced avocado, juice of 1/2 lime, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp chilli flakes, and 1 tbsp chopped coriander. Mix gently and set aside.

Prepare the Greek yogurt sauce:

In a small bowl, mix 6 tbsp Greek yogurt, juice of 1/2 lime, 1 tsp honey, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

Prepare the tacos:

Use a sharp knife to gently slice along the back of the 400 g prawns, so they flare up when fried. This will give them more volume.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for a minute.
Add the prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through.
