REDCLAW YABBY (CRAWFISH) PASTA SAUCE



Redclaw Yabby (Crawfish) Pasta Sauce image

We've been catching plenty of yabbies for the past few days and this is a recipe I came up with to use some of them. I started the sauce, then let it simmer while I cooked spiral pasta for the two of us. This sauce was really good as it didn't overpower the delicate sweetness of the yabbies.

Redclaw Yabby (Crawfish) in Red Thai Style Sauce image

Another recipe to use the redclaw yabbies we've been catching. Redclaws are apparently closely related to crawfish. This was pretty mild as I didn't want to over power the delicate flavour of the yabbies.

YABBY (CRAWFISH), TOMATO AND CHILI PASTA SAUCE



Yabby (Crawfish), Tomato and Chili Pasta Sauce image

We've been away catching lots of yabbies (crawfish) for the past week. I made this last night and want to make it again soon for some of the family. We tried to extract raw meat from the tails for this, but found it too hard so cooked our yabbies quickly in salted water, then went on with the recipe. You could use shrimp/prawns in this too.

Categories     Crawfish

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

20 g parmesan cheese, finely grated (I use my microplane)
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
zest of a small lemon
3 teaspoons olive oil
4 tablespoons finely diced red onions
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon chili flakes (to taste)
200 ml white wine
1 (400 g) can tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon chicken stock powder (to taste)
1 tablespoon capers
300 g crawfish meat (yabby)

Steps:

  • Combine the parmesan, parsley and lemon zest in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a pan and cook the onion until softened, add the garlic and cook 30 seconds more, then add in the chilli flakes and white wine. Cook to reduce a little.
  • Add the tomatoes and their juice and the chciken stock powder. Cook until reduced and thickened (mine took about 15 minutes over a medium-low heat).
  • While this is happening, cook some pasta to serve the sauce over. We had penne, I would have preferred angel hair though!
  • When the sauce is thickened to your liking, add in the capers and yabby meat and cook a further 2 or 3 minutes to heat the yabbies through.
  • Serve over pasta with the parmesan, parsley zest mix sprinkled over the top.
