Prawns combine with avocado, crème frâiche and our Cape Herb & Spice Sriracha Spice to make for a dreamy tiny tortilla bite. Serve a few with cocktails or bulk up and turn it into a full-on meal
Place all the ingredients for the sauce in a food processor or blender and blitz until velvety smooth. Heat the tortillas, fold a butter lettuce leaf into each cocktail tortilla, top with a few prawns and spoon over a very generous dollop of green velvet sauce. Fold over and tuck in.
(More options for this recipe: #1: If preferred, leave out the tortillas and just use the butter lettuce as a wrap. #2: Use hard shell tacos instead of the tortillas – the crunch of the taco against the smoothness of the velvet sauce is a textural dream. 3#: Shred gem lettuce and layer it in glasses with the prawns and velvet sauce.)
