really, REALLY good! the slightly “fried bread” effect on the tacos made this super special and the burnt tomato salsa is a game changer, very very easy and very effective! learned quickly that low and slow heat for prawn side down then high heat once flipped to char other side, first time flipping was tricky as paste doesn’t stay attached during cooking but by third taco we’d figured it out (

So good and so easy! Skipped the fish sauce, added a bit of salt instead. Really really tasty, will def make again

Was amazing but struggled to get the paste to stick. Assuming my lack of food processor was the issue.

When I saw the ingredient list I was skeptical of its loose Mexican but also maybe Vietnamese influence? But it was actually so so so good. I added a little green salsa / lime crema because I think that belongs on all sea-based tacos, but it was a banger even without.

DELISH but the prawn paste didn’t stick, even after I worked some mayo in. Will make again - mmmmm

Question - if I want to batch and freeze these should I freeze BEFORE cooking the prawn schmear or AFTER cooking?

Oh, you really did that. I’m not gonna lie, I did shout at the first taco because the prawn mixture kept falling off, but practice makes perfect, baby (plus it tastes the same regardless)
Once I got into it, these were delicious and actually pretty easy to make - and the star of the show? The burnt tomato salsa, wowow - such an amazing flavour, fresh and a little zingy, it really tied the dish together. I also topped with some crushed tortilla chips for a little added crunch

These slappppp. Fiddly but fun to make. I added some of the Mexican Cholula hot sauce on top which goes well
