Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ gas 6
Boil half a kettle
Slice the green chilli[es] finely
Add a pinch of salt and sugar to a bowl with a splash of boiled water and stir everything together until dissolved
Once dissolved, add the cider vinegar and sliced green chilli and set aside to pickle – this is your pickled chilli

Cut the avocado[s] in half lengthways, around the stone[s]
Remove the stone[s] using a teaspoon
Scoop the avocado out of the skin[s] using a spoon
Add the avocado to a bowl and mash it with a fork
Season with a pinch of salt, add 2 tbsp [4 tbsp] cold water and squeeze in the juice of 1/2 [1] lime – this is your guacamole

Wash and chop the lettuce roughly, then pat it dry with kitchen paper
Dice the tomato[es]
Chop the coconut flakes finely

Drain, then pat the jumbo prawns dry with kitchen paper
Add a handful of flour to a bowl
Crack the egg[s] into a separate bowl and beat with a fork
Combine the panko breadcrumbs and chopped coconut flakes in another bowl – these are your coconut breadcrumbs

Coat the jumbo prawns in the flour, tap off any excess, then add into the beaten egg and finally press into the coconut breadcrumbs firmly to evenly coat all over – these are your breaded jumbo prawns

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil (enough to cover the base of the pan) over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the breaded jumbo prawns and cook for 3-4 min on each side or until golden and cooked through – these are your crispy coconut jumbo prawns
Tip: Do the prawns in batches if you need to so you don't overcrowd the pan!

Whilst the prawns are cooking, add the tortillas to a baking tray (alternatively, add them to a plate and microwave for 1-2 min!)
Put the tray in the oven for 1-2 min or until warmed through
Tip: Cooking for 4? Use 2 trays!
Cut the remaining lime into wedges

To serve, pile the warmed tortillas with the guacamole, chopped lettuce, diced tomato and the crispy coconut jumbo prawns
Top with the pickled chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and garnish with a lime wedge
Enjoy!
