Grilled Langoustine with Herb Butter
by
Luca Ferrari
An easy and fast langoustine to grill on the beach! It's amazing when flavored with herb butter, but can easily work by itself. It's also perfect to grill at home to impress friends and family.
Faster than the tail to prepare, but more difficult to eat. This works better for freshly caught ones.
A good integration for a seafood night. You can replace the parsley and tarragon in the butter with any herbs you’d like.
Got this idea from Jorgen, the gardener of the hotel where I am working, when a delivery of langoustine arrived super fresh and I wasn't sure how to serve it for the night.
