You can call it Abalone or Pāua, I'm cooking it

You can call it sea ears, muttonshells, ormer, abalone, paua or whatever you like

 Today, I'm cooking it the easiest way I know

These are from New Zealand

  

Cleaning them carefully

 

 

What a beautiful shell.

I collect these and have used them to make among other things

Exotic knife handle inlays!

Slice thin, and marinate in soy sauce for several hours

Stir-frying in ghee!

That's stir-fried abalone

 

 

This recipe is with whole abalone marinated with soy sauce and crushed dried red chillies

Love the iridescence of the shell!
