Ingredients

  1. 500 g prawns, peeled and deveined
  2. 1 tsp paprika
  3. 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  4. 2 tbsp olive oil
  5. 6 small flour or corn tortillas
  6. 1 cup shredded lettuce
  7. 1 avocado, mashed
  8. 1 small red onion, finely sliced
  9. 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  10. Juice of 1 lime
  11. 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves
  12. 1 small cucumber, diced
  13. 1 jalapeño, finely sliced
  14. Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix together the paprika and cumin. Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over high heat. Cook the wraps one at a time for 30 seconds on each side until they are lightly browned and crispy. Drain on paper towels. While they are still warm, sprinkle half of the paprika mixture over the wraps and season with salt. Reserve half of the coriander. Pat the remaining coriander dry and carefully fry in batches for 10-20 seconds, or until bright green. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain on paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, onion, lime juice, and the reserved coriander to make the salsa. Season to taste.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the prawns, cucumber, and jalapeño. Season to taste.
  4. To serve, divide the wraps among six plates. Top with the shredded lettuce, salsa, prawn mixture, a spoonful of mashed avocado, and the fried coriander leaves.

Chef's Tip

Prawn tostadas are all about contrast — crisp tortillas topped with fresh, zesty seafood and vibrant toppings. Lightly spiced prawns pair perfectly with creamy avocado, crunchy lettuce, fresh herbs, and lime, creating layers of texture and flavour in every bite. Keeping the tortillas crisp while serving the toppings fresh and bright gives the dish its signature balance of richness, freshness, and crunch.
