These Cajun prawn tacos were absolutely incredible! The prawns came out perfectly seasoned with a delicious kick, and the fresh salsa and red cabbage slaw made every bite so vibrant and full of flavour. Me and my husband devoured them! They felt like something straight out of a restaurant, but so easy to make at home. We’ll definitely be making these again!
