👩🍳 How to Make It
1. Prepare the Prawns
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and chilli, sauté until fragrant. Toss in the prawns and cook for 2–3 minutes until they turn pink and slightly caramelized. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Make the Mango Mix
In a bowl, combine diced mango with a pinch of salt and a little lime juice. This enhances the sweetness and adds a tangy kick.
3. Assemble the Cups
Scoop out a small portion from each avocado half to create a larger cavity. Fill each avocado “cup” with mango mixture, then top with the chilli prawns.
4. Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle fresh herbs over the top and add an extra drizzle of lime juice if desired. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
