Suggested Langoustine Cooking Instructions
Preparation:
Remove the langoustines from the freezer and defrost them in the fridge overnight. If you need a quicker option, place them in cold water for about 30 minutes.
Seasoning:
Toss the langoustines with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. Add fresh herbs like parsley for extra flavour.
Cooking:
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook the langoustines for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the shells turn pink and the meat is just opaque. Be careful not to overcook, as they’re best when tender.
Grilling Option:
Alternatively, grill the fresh langoustine shrimp under a hot grill for 2-3 minutes per side, basting with garlic butter for a rich, indulgent flavour.
Resting:
Let the langoustines rest for a minute after cooking to absorb the flavours before serving.
Serving:
Serve with a drizzle of melted butter or a squeeze of lemon. Perfect as a starter, with salad, or as part of a seafood platter. Enjoy the sweet, tender flavour of fresh langoustine!
