Serve the taco lime prawns with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of tanginess. You can also provide additional toppings like grated cheese, sour cream, or guacamole.
Feel free to adjust the taco seasoning and lime quantities to your taste preferences. If you like it spicier, you can also add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the marinade.
