[slinky.kate]

is that how you spell it ? i have been given a pack of of them,unshelled,uncooked,what do i do with them and what can eat with them???

[ummmm]

You can eat anything with them. I'd grill them or cook them in a griddle pan.

[grasscarp]

Lucky you. I love them.

[DaisyNonna]

stir fry. With rice. Paella, risotto. Cold in salad.

[cupotee]

Huge prawns. I could eat some of them right now enjoy.

[slinky.kate]

but they have eyes and the shell on

[ummmm]

Yes, cook them in the shell and peel when cooked.

[Milvus]

Unless your langoustine are live, they should already have been cooked when caught.

[shoota]

Don't forget to remove the intestine (a black line down the underside) when you peel them.

[ummmm]

Not in my experience. They are sold raw.

[shoota]

Most French supermarkets sell them both ways.

[Wharton]

chips

[ummmm]

When I've bought them it usually has 'this product is raw' on the pack as, unlike prawns/lobster etc, they are pink when raw and cooked.

[shoota]

They are very nice rolled in a mixture of breadcrumbs, desiccated coconut, zest of lime and just a little flour then deep fried just enough to make the crumb crisp and golden.
Serve with dips of sweet chili and curry mayo.
Now I'm hungry....

[ummmm]

Shells are a bit sharp though :-)

[woofgang]

not coconut, that's just wrong.

[Sparkles62]

doesn't sound wrong to me woof, sounds yummy, feeling hungry now. X

[Brinjal]

you can shell them before cooking then cook in butter with garlic a little chilli and lemon and serve with rice and a nice salad yum yum can i come i will even cook them for you.

[Sqad]

I agree with brinjal......but don't forget to remove the G,I tract first (imtestines).

Take the heads off, peel them, de-vein them, fry some olive oil, garlic and chilli, fry the langoustines, add a splash of white wine and toss through spaghetti
