Recipe Notes
Prawns Tortillas Storage Instructions
To store, leave all the ingredients separately, which will last 3 days in the fridge. The prawn/shrimp mix can also be frozen for up to 3 months. If mixed, it will last up to 1 day in the refrigerator before deteriorating.
Prawn Tortillas Reheating Instructions
To reheat the prawn/shrimp mix, place it in a pan over medium heat and mix for 2 minutes until hot in the centre. Alternatively, it can be put into the microwave and heated in bursts, mixing between each one.
What If I Don't Eat or Like Seafood?
This recipe can be made with thinly sliced chicken breast instead of prawns/shrimp. To do so, make the same marinade with the same weight of the chicken breast to prawns/shrimp and pan fry for 4 1/2 minutes, mixing it regularly.
