Easy Prawn Tacos with the Best Taco Seasoning. Recipe and photos The Luminous Kitchen
Need easy meal ideas for busy Mondays? Done.
Try these Prawn Tacos. I love the intense flavor these little parcels pack and the tactile messiness of eating them with your hands.
Taco Seasoning
* You can use the packet stuff that comes with the taco shells but they are often full of added nasties and making your own is easy as and really satisfying. You can make up a big batch and keep it to use on everything from grilled veggies to steak. I use this seasoning when I feel a savory dish just needs something and it works every time.
