Yabbies are a much cherished delicacy in France, particularly in the Alps region where there are many lakes and streams where yabbies are in abundance.
This way of preparing and presenting yabbies doesn’t take long to put together, yet looks very impressive. The combination of the herbs fried in oil are absolutely delicious.

- To make the avocado paste, mash the avocado in a cup, squeeze the lime juice into it and sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper into it.
