Description

These easy, halfway homemade Scampi Tacos are served with creamy avocado and a fruity, vibrant mango and chilli salsa that comes together whilst the scampi is cooking in the oven or air fryer.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Scampi Tacos

  • 24 pieces scampi (approx. 2 packets)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 lime
  • sea salt
  • 12 flour taco wraps

For the Mango Salsa

  • 1 mango (ripe, but not overly so)
  • 1 red chilli
  • small handful fresh coriander
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • large pinch sea salt 

Instructions

  1. Cook the scampi as per the packet instructions, or for 20 minutes at 200 degrees (390F) in the air fryer.
  2. Mash the avocado as smooth as you can get it, and season to taste with sea salt and lime juice. Be bold here; I find most scampi can be lacking in seasoning.
  3. To make the salsa, halve the mango and remove the pit and skin, cutting the flesh into a 1/2 cm dice. Deseed and finely chop the chilli, roughly chop the coriander and toss everything together again in a bowl with a generous amount of sea salt, and the juice of half the lime. Slice the remaining lime into wedges for serving. 
  4. Serve the tacos each with a swipe of avocado, a couple of pieces of scampi, a spoonful of salsa and a spritz of lime.

Notes

Breaded prawns can be substituted for the scampi; for some brands, this is exactly what is in the packet anyway!
