Recipe for lobster in creamy mushroom sauce
Beautiful and delicious appetizer with crayfish tails.
Unfortunately, crayfish are not something most Danes are familiar with, which we think is a shame.
They are juicy and have many of the great qualities of shellfish.
We have the recipe from the book “Fish on the Fork“, written by Rasmus Grønbech.

Notes
TIP:
Kill the crayfish by inserting a sharp, pointed knife into the shell where the cross marking is.
This will kill the crayfish instantly.
