Hi Jack, This looks TOP great ingredients as well. Thanks for sharing have a great weekend mate.

[cathybrown]

Looks great!! (Heads up, I bought Mexican cheese from Coles last week!) Another great recipe. 👍

[sarajanehaven]

Looks delicious! Though I'm a fan of tacos, I bet that marinade would also work for skewered shrimp on the barbie with some pineapple, and chunky veg.

The coleslaw is a revelation Jack. Thank you. X

[lisahutchens]

I made these last weekend. Even my picky Aussie roommate loved them. She said "these are the best thing you've ever made."

[owldiamond]

You're a goddamn wizard - I just bought a whole pack of shrimp. Guess my paella will have to wait...

I am such a romaine (cos) lettuce fan but when in need of change I love using homemade coleslaw. It is a brilliant idea to use it over shredded, fland watery lettuce. Lime is wonderful upgrade from using lemons. It is something that awakens your taste buds. Any time you can incorporate an acid into a recipe it will always help round out the overall flavour. If you are not a taco fan then follow Jack's recipe and put atop plain jasmin or basmati rice (and serve the coleslaw as a side salad). #Brilliant #ShrimpTacos #Coleslaw

Knocked it out of the park with this one, the wife hates coleslaw (doesn't do mayo) but loved this one and I have to say it's bloody good. Only one question, I think you say half a teaspoon of ground cumin in with the prawns, but it looks a whole lot more than that when you add it. Half a tablespoon maybe?

This is lovely! Have you tried making Ebi Katsu before? I tried that at a visit to Japan, lovely food, and loveoly video ;)

[lisahutchens]

Next time I'm in Australia, I'll bring you some Cotija cheese. 🙂

Any chance you could make some high calorie meals for us gainers?
