Oven baked crayfish with truffle oil

June 22, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Oven baked crayfish with truffle oil. If not the most delicious, it is for sure one of the most delicious seafood appetizer you have ever tasted. Ready in 15 minutes.

Last week I wasn’t sure on which recipe to publish today on Teti’s flakes. And confused as I was, I made my typical stroll to the food market, and more specifically to my fishmonger, Nikos.

So when I entered his shop, I was even more confused. I didn’t know what to choose, so many fresh delicacies. And so I ended up carrying different fishes and seafood back home. Anchovies, squid and crayfish.

At first I thought of adding crayfish to the pan, following the logic of crayfish spaghetti (you may find the recipe here). But then I remembered that I had truffle oil in my pantry, as well as truffle salt. Since the frying pans were occupied by the anchovies and the squid, I decide to try an oven baked version of them.

Recipe notes for oven baked crayfish

The recipe is easy to make and it doesn’t require more than 15 minutes. However, there are two points that need your attention. So, if you decide to give it a try – try it, it’s fantastic – you need to pay attention to the following:

  • Crayfish preparation: Before spreading truffle paste to the crayfish we must properly prepare it. By using a sharp knife, cut the back in half and remove the vein. Then spread crayfish with truffle paste. We cut the crayfish for two reasons. One, to remove the vein, and two, to help the flavor of truffle to be absorbed by the crayfish. 
  • Time of cooking: Just like shrimps, crayfish do not require a lot of cooking time. In order to result in a perfect, flavorful and juicy dish we have to bake them for 7-10 minutes. If you decide to use a pan, I would suggest reducing the time in half.
