- 1 tsp chipotle chilli powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 3/4 tsp ground cumin

Instructions
- Pat the prawns dry with a paper towel and place into a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, shallots, chipotle chilli powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder and salt. Mix well to combine and set aside to stand for 10 minutes.
- Place all the ingredients for the salsa into a medium bowl and stir to combine.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the prawns mixture and arrange in a single layer. Cook the prawns for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they become opaque. Transfer to a plate.
- Prepare the lime sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, lime juice and coriander in a small bowl, and mix well.
- To assemble the tacos, spread a light layer of lime sauce on each warm tortilla, top with prawns, and spoon over the salsa. Finish with additional sauce and coriander, if desired.
