How do I cook crayfish tails?!


Question: How do I cook crayfish tails!?
Someone gave me 4 crayfish tails!. I most probably won't eat it, as I don't like shellfish!. Haven't tried crayfish, though!.
I'm curious!. How do you cook it!? And what does it taste like!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I usually boil them in salted water for a few minutes until they go pink, then I grill them over a gas griller while basting them with garlic butter for a few minutes!. The meat goes firm quickly, so remove from heat just about then!. Serve hot on a bed of rice, or remove the shell and serve on rice or in a salad!.
Does not taste like shell fish at all!. Rather more like monkfish wouldWww@FoodAQ@Com
