Coconut Prawn Tacos

Submitted by Chef Niki

"This is a recipe that my husband & I came up with.We love coconut prawns so we decided to try them in a soft taco....oh my, these are good and a favorite of ours! The amount of oil and prawns depend on how many taco's you want to make. We usually fit 3 fairly large(31/40 size) prawns in each taco. The sauce is killer good :)"
