Method
- Mix together the paprika, garlic and chilli powder. Toss the cooked fish and prawns in the spices and leave to marinate for 10mins as you prepare the rest.
- Preheat the oven to 200C. Wrap the corn tacos in tinfoil and place in the oven to warm whilst you prepare the salsa. Slice the cabbage and toss in the lime juice.
- For the salsa, mix together the corn, avocados, shallot and coriander leaves and stir in the olive oil, red wine vinegar and honey, season well to taste.
- Heat a glug of oil in a frying pan, and fry the fish and prawns over a high heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly charred and heated through. Serve the warm tacos topped with the fish, red cabbage, salsa, lime wedges and sour cream.
