YABBY (CRAWFISH), TOMATO AND CHILI PASTA SAUCE
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.

- 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).

CREAMY CRAWFISH PASTA
A friend from college gave me this recipe. It's perfect for me because, living in Louisiana, we always have a pound or so of crawfish left over after a crawfish boil. However, any seafood could be substituted for the crawfish if they are hard to find in your area.

Tips:

- Season the crawfish well: Crawfish have a mild flavor, so it's important to season them well. Use a variety of spices, such as garlic, Cajun seasoning, and paprika.
- Cook the crawfish properly: Crawfish should be cooked until they are pink and opaque. Overcooked crawfish will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe uses a variety of vegetables, such as corn, bell peppers, and onions. You can use any vegetables that you like.
- Serve the crawfish pasta immediately: Crawfish pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.
