Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Snails

Rinse the wild caught baby snails under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Set aside.

2

Make the Lemongrass Base

Finely chop the lemongrass stalks and garlic cloves. In a large saucepan, add a splash of water and sauté the lemongrass and garlic over medium heat until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

3

Cook the Snails

Add the rinsed baby snails to the saucepan. Stir well to coat them in the lemongrass and garlic mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes.

4

Add Coconut Cream

Pour in the coconut cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Season with salt, black pepper, and chopped red chili if using. Simmer for another 10 minutes until the snails are cooked through.

5

Finish with Fresh Herbs

Remove from heat and stir in freshly chopped coriander and lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.

6

Serve

Serve the coconut sea snails warm, garnished with extra coriander and lime wedges if desired.
