 500g cherabin, peeled and deveined

2 cups spiral pasta

1 stick celery, finely chopped (or 1 cup finely shredded cabbage)

½ bunch fresh coriander (or 1 tablespoon dried)

 Put pasta on to boil.
Combine coriander, salsa, juice, ginger and garlic.  Bring to simmer.  Add cheriban and celery or cabbage.  Cook for 3-5 minutes.  Add pasta and serve. 

 PS  If cherabin are large, cut in half.  Also, if they are really large, sometimes it pays to break the sinews with a meat tenderiser. 

 Same applies to painted crays and abalone.   It really works.
