Ingredients

• 4 large crayfish (lobster) tails
• 50 g butter
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• ½ cup fresh lime juice
• 600 ml thickened cream
• Cornflour slurry, to thicken

Instructions

1. Using a sharp knife, de-shell the crayfish tails. Slice the meat in half, then cut into large chunks, following the natural segments in the crayfish tail.
2. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add the butter and garlic and cook, stirring, until melted. Add the crayfish chunks and cook, stirring for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly opaque.
3. Add the lime juice and stir through, followed by the cream. Cook, stirring, for 5-6 minutes until bubbling and the crayfish is cooked. Stir through the cornflour slurry through the sauce until slightly thickened.
