Langoustine Bouillon

35m

The Langoustine Bouillon is a super nice shellfish soup made with leftover langoustine heads and shells.

Traditional in nordic countries, this dish is perfect for a cold winter night with friends or as a starter in a restaurant!

Lemon can be replaced with orange, and the star anise is not necessary, but will give the dish an amazing flavor.
