Langoustines

Langoustines are like mini lobsters, celebrated for their delicate, subtly sweet meat and beautiful pink-striped shells.

These smaller, more flavorful langoustines are typically around 10 cm long. To cooked these, boil in a large pot of boiling water for about 3 minutes, then drain and serve.

For a different twist, they can be grilled whole with butter and parsley and nothing beats the satisfaction of using your fingers to enjoy them. While the main meat is found in the body, don't forget to crack open the claws for a delicious bite of firm pink meat.
