Prawn Tacos with Pineapple Salsa

Prawn Tacos with Pineapple Salsa | The Mother Cooker

I adore tacos, they are in my top five favourite foods. It turns out seafood is up there too, so the combination is perfection to me. Pile on a zingy pineapple salsa and it's heaven on a plate. I've always loved the ease of tacos, the small portions and layers of flavour just speak to me. Pineapple is delicious in a salsa, if you've never tried strawberries, they are great too.

These prawn creations are a mix of delicate spice, coconut and refreshing salsa. It all balances itself out wonderfully and they go great with these pineapple and lemonade slushies. They are great for a crowd as they are sociable and people can pile things on themselves. I love just putting loads of different dishes piled with delicious things in the middle of the table and letting people get stuck in.
