Directions

- Add a tablespoon of the spice mix, some salt, two seasoning cubes, some red chilli powder, the crayfish and the lemongrass bundles.
- Stir and allow to simmer on low heat until the liquid starts to boil.
- When the liquid is fully boiled, add the remaining 2 litres of water and the rest of the pepper soup spice mix.
- Allow to cook on medium-low heat. Add salt and pepper to taste, and simmer until the meat is soft but isn’t falling off the bone.
- Serve with boiled plantains and yams and some palm oil, if you like.
