Method

Put all the ingredients for the prawns into a mixing bowl, season with pepper, then gently mix until well combined. Cover the bowl with cling film and chill for 20 minutes.
In a medium bowl, roughly mash the avocados, then stir in all the remaining salsa ingredients and season well.
Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Season the prawns with salt, then tip them and their marinade into the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes until pink and cooked through. Serve with the salsa with a little coriander sprinkled over, flatbreads and lime wedges to squeeze over.
