Crayfish and Asparagus with Thickened Sauce

Use small pieces of crayfish meat in a thickened sauce. The crayfish broth gives this dish a refined flavor.
Origin of this recipe
The American crayfish, seen throughout Japan, was introduced in the early Showa era as food for edible bullfrogs and has since spread as an invasive species, negatively impacting native rare plants and animals. However, in its native land, it is considered a delicacy! If caught in clean water, be sure to try it. *Make sure to cook thoroughly.
