Wild Yellow Foot Paua are revered for their meat, shells, and more recently for their ability to produce lustrous pearls that capture the colours in the shell.

Preparation:
Store in fridge until ready to use.
Push the meat out of the shell with your thumb, or a flat edged knife. Remove the gut sack and tooth circle with a sharp knife.

To barbecue:
Cut the paua into very thin strips with a sharp knife. Crush some garlic. Heat a hot plate over medium high heat, add butter and garlic and paua. Sautee for 1-2minuets (hot and fast) until they start to curl and colour changes. Serve immediately
