For the sauce:

➤1/2 cup mayonnaise

➤2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt

➤Juice of 1 lime

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sauce:

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream or yogurt, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Set aside.

2. Marinate the Prawns:

In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Add the prawns and toss to coat them in the marinade. Let them marinate for about 15-30 minutes.

3. Cook the Prawns:

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated prawns and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook, as prawns can become tough.

4. Assemble the Tacos:

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Place a few cooked prawns on each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce or cabbage, diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and sliced jalapenos.

5. Drizzle with Sauce:

Drizzle the prepared sauce over the assembled tacos.

6. Serve:

Serve the prawn tacos with lime wedges on the side. You can also provide additional toppings and sauces for customization.

Feel free to get creative with your toppings and sauces. You can add ingredients like diced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, chopped mango, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick.
