Ingredients

• 2 large crayfish
• 2 tbsp (40 ml) vegetable oil
• 1 brown onion, roughly chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tbsp finely grated ginger
• 1 cup (250 ml) coconut milk
• 2 tsp curry powder
• Salt
• Steamed rice, to serve

Instructions

1. Using a sharp knife, extract the tails from the crayfish. Slice the tail meat (shell-on) into medallions, following the natural segments in the tail. Place the lobster medallions into water until required.
2. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until softened. Drain the crayfish medallions and add to the pan. Stir, and then cover and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the crayfish shells turn red and the meat is cooked.
3. Add the coconut milk, curry powder and a pinch of salt, stir through until warmed, then remove from the heat. Serve with steamed rice.
