Avocado and Crayfish Tartine
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
1 ripe avocado
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Few drops hot sauce
½ pound cooked crayfish tails or small shrimp
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
½ teaspoon sweet paprika
4 slices sourdough bread or rusticco
Directions
Heat broiler or toaster oven.
Halve, pit and scoop out the flesh of the avocado into a small mixing bowl. With a fork, mash the avocado with half the lime juice and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season with the salt, pepper and hot sauce. Set aside.
In another bowl, toss the crayfish tails or shrimp with the remaining olive oil and lime juice, and the parsley, paprika, salt and pepper.
To serve, toast the bread. While the spread is still warm, spread some of the avocado mixture on each slice and top with crayfish mixture. Serve by itself or with a green salad on the side.
