Crayfish and Salmon Stack

Ingredients
Serves 2
100g ready to eat crayfish tails
50g raw prawns
100g smoked salmon
2 small avocados
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp tomato ketchup
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp garlic oil
2 tsp chopped chives
pinch of paprika
salt and pepper
Method
Lets start with the prawn and crayfish mix. In a frying pan pour in the garlic and olive oils and heat then throw in the prawns and cook until firm. Turn off the heat and throw in the crayfish tails to soak up some of that flavour.
Leave to cool in a bowl then mix in the mayo, tomato ketchup, paprika and chives.
Now set this aside and prep the avocado. Cut into small chunks and in another bowl crush slightly with a fork so that you still have chunks but a little mash to hold it all together. Season with salt and pepper and mix.
Now on a plate place a 3 inch ring and fill with half the avocado mixture. Then tear up half the salmon into smaller bits and push on top of the avocado. Not too hard but just enough to make sure the bottom is compacted enough to hold. Once thats done spoon on the crayfish and salmon mixture then slide off the ring.
You should now have a wonderful starter. I serve with a small pile of watercress as the peppery flavour really compliments the dish.
A great retro starter for valentines day, chistmas day or any other special day you have. This version uses crayfish with prawns to add bunch of flavour that holds it's own with the smoked salmon and avocado.
It's quick to make and the crayfish and prawn mayo mix can be made ahead of time so all you have to do on the day is stack it.
