Abalone and Penne for dinner

A few weeks back, Matt and I took a drive down the coast in search of the look like rocks, often the same color and sticking out in base of bigger rocks or boulders in the water.
It was my second attempt and got about 7 of them.

My first dive and attempt I managed to harvest only 1 abalone. I was still learning to spot them.

That evening, we (mainly Matt:) managed to get about 13 of them, palm-sized Pauas in about 2 hours. The legal limit was 10 per person per day.

10 was plenty good for dinner. We prepared it with pasta-Penne, galic, tomatoes, onion, green peppers and squeeze of half a lemon when almost done.
