Langoustine Recipe: Seasonal Cuisine

Ingredients

• 8-10 fresh langoustines
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Clean the langoustines by cutting off the head and legs just below the tail. Use your hands to remove the shell from the tail, leaving the last segment of the shell and the tail fin intact.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
4. Place the cleaned langoustines in a large bowl and add the garlic mixture. Toss until the langoustines are well coated.
5. Arrange the langoustines on a baking sheet with the tail shells facing up.
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the langoustines are pink and cooked through.
7. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
8. Serve immediately.
