Cajun Prawn and Mexican salsa Wrap
Prawns are one of my favourite seafoods! Virtually no fat, high in protein and vitamins B-12, B-6 and niacin which helps production of energy, manufacture red blood cells and maintaining normal nerve function!
Now let’s get cooking!!
 
Ingredients:
100gms of prawns/shrimp

1 large tomato/ 10 baby tomatoes

Half a red onion

2 limes

2 ripe avocados

2 large chilies or jalapenos (spicy salsa)

3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil

Rocket leaves

Any type of whole wheat wrap

Cajun spices

Salt and Pepper

Making the Salsa
Chop up the red onion, tomatoes, avocados and chilli into a large bowl and mix it together with olive oil and lime juice. Always start with 1 lime first and gradually build the flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer more zest add in more lime! If you refer a spicier salsa more chilli or you can use chilli flakes.

Making the prawns.
When choosing prawns make sure the meat is firm. De-shell and De-vein the prawns before seasoning.
Add your Cajun seasoning. I usually just a low sodium pre-mix. Fresh prawns a naturally sweet so not much salt needs to be added.

Heat up your pan and add olive oil/canola oil and over a medium to high heat sautee the prawns. Once the prawns start to curl they are cooked. Usually they cook in a few mins.
Assemble the wrap by toasting the wrap in a heated pan and place the salsa and prawns. Wrap it up and enjoy!!
