Method

Arrange crayfish halves on a roasting tray and smear the flesh side with stuffing.

Season with salt and grill for 4 to 5 minutes until shells are red and cooked through.

Preheat the grill to its highest setting.

Blend the bread in a food processor to form medium breadcrumbs.

Add hazelnuts, lemon zest, juice, butter, garlic, and pastis to the processor and blend.

Stir the chopped parsley into the stuffing mixture.

Cut each crayfish lengthways from tip to tail and remove any waste sacs.

Arrange the cooked crayfish on a plate and serve with lemon wedges.
