RECIPE FOR: Celebration Yabbies (Freshwater Crayfish)

Ingredients:
2 cloves crushed garlic
2 teaspoon grated or finely slivered fresh ginger root.
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup fish stock
½ cup stones ginger wine or white wine

1 cup cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
salt or soy sauce to taste
1-2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar.

In a frying pan, gently fry garlic and ginger in butter to soften
Add stock, wine and sherry, simmer for 2-3 mins
Add cream, and boil rapidly until reduced by half.
Cut butter into small cubes and whisk into the sauce.
Add salt and pepper, then a splash of balsamic vinegar.
Return yabbies to sauce and heat through
Serve with steamed rice.
