Cooked Langoustines Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat for at least 5 minutes until very hot. In a small bowl combine butter, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper and beat until well mixed. Brush langoustines with garlic butter and grill, basting several times and turning once, until cooked through.;

Steps:

• Bring the water and salt to a boil in a large pot. The water should taste like the ocean.
• Add the live langoustines and boil them for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the water and cool.
• Eat them, as is, with aioli (garlic mayonnaise) and toast.

Steps:

• Remove the heads, lungs and shells from the langoustines (you can reserve heads and shells to make stock; they may be frozen). Devein and season lightly with salt and pepper. In a deep sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat. When it simmers, place the langoustines on their sides so that they curl up in the pan. As soon as one side is caramelized, about 1/2 minute, gently turn; add butter and bay leaf. Baste continuously for 2 minutes. They should still be a little translucent at the center. Remove from the pan and drain. Sprinkle with olive oil. (Craft uses lemon olive oil; you can sprinkle a little lemon juice if you can't find this.) Serve.
