Prawn, Avocado, and Coriander Ceviche
In traditional ceviche, citrus juice “cooks” the fish or seafood by causing its flesh to become firm. But
because citrus doesn’t heat food, it doesn’t kill bacteria. Here, we briefly boil the prawns and then combine with citrus.
1 Hass avocado, finely diced
1 large mango, peeled, pitted, and finely chopped
1/2 medium red capsicum, finely chopped
1/2 small white onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
1/2 chilli, finely chopped, (wear plastic gloves when handling)
1/4 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 small corn tortilla wraps

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the prawns and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until pink and opaque. Drain and rinse under cold water. Pat the prawns dry with a paper towel.
