  1. Preheat oven to 220C and line a baking sheet with baking paper. Toss prawns with olive oil, chilli honey, cumin, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Spread prawns on the baking sheet and bake for 6-8 minutes or until cooked through. Alternatively, pan-fry them for 3-4 minutes. Or air fry for 8 minutes at 200C.
  3. In a bowl, toss green cabbage with coriander, olive oil, and lime juice. In a blender, combine avocado, sour cream, greek yoghurt, olive oil, lime juice, garlic and jalapeno sauce. Blend until smooth and add more lime to taste and to achieve the lovely whipped consistency.
