Ingredients:
- 24 live* or cooked yabbies, or large cooked prawns
- 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
- 2 1/2 tbsp tarragon vinegar
- 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup each fi nely chopped chervil, flat-leaf parsley and chives
- 1 1/2 tbsp baby salted capers, rinsed, drained, finely chopped
- 8 cornichons*, finely chopped
- 1 pink grapefruit, peeled, segmented
- 1 avocado, peeled, cut into thin wedges
- 3 cups lamb's lettuce or watercress sprigs
Instructions
- If using live yabbies, bring a large saucepan of heavily salted water to the boil. Add yabbies and cook, covered, for 8 minutes or until shells turn bright orange. Drain and leave to cool at room temperature - do not rinse. (If using cooked yabbies or prawns, there is no need for additional cooking.) Once the yabbies are cool, break off the claws. Hold the head with 1 hand and the tail with the other, then twist to separate and discard head. Using kitchen scissors, cut the shell down the side of the tail, then carefully remove meat. Using crab crackers, crack the claws and remove the meat.
- Place the garlic, vinegar, oil, herbs, capers and cornichons in a bowl and stir to combine, then season with salt and pepper. Divide the yabby meat, grapefruit, avocado and lamb's lettuce among plates, then drizzle with herb dressing. Serve immediately.
