  • 1 long red chilli, seeded, finely sliced
  • ½ cup mint, leaves finely sliced
  • 1 kaffir lime leaves, finely shredded
  • ½ cup coriander, leaves picked
  • 2 tablespoons peanuts, crushed
  • 2 Tb ZoOSh Free Range Egg Mayonnaise

NAM JIM :

  • Combine the chilli, mint, kaffir lime, and coriander leaves in a large bowl. Dress with a little of the nam jim and toss through the prawns. Place a small dollop of mayonnaise onto the base of the tortillas. Add a small mound of the prawn salad on top and sprinkle with the peanuts. Serve immediately.
