Method

Put the defrosted prawns in a bowl with the mango & coconut paste, turn to coat well and set aside. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C.
To make a salsa, mix the mango, tomatoes, chilli (if using), onion, lime zest and juice, olive oil, chopped coriander leaves and a pinch of salt.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the prawns for 3-4 mins until golden, cooked through and the paste has thickened. Meanwhile, warm the taco shells through in the oven for 2 mins.
Fill the taco shells with lettuce, spoonfuls of salsa, the prawns and some extra coriander sprigs, with lime wedges for squeezing over.
