Ingredients

  • 24 langoustines (or more/less as required, simply adjust the amount of herbed cream or use for something else)
  • 4 tablespoon creme fraiche
  • 1 tablespoon chives , finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon tarragon leaves , finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • If using fresh langoustines - bring a large pot of water to the boil, add a little salt, and add the langoustines. Cover and cook for around 8-10 minutes. Cook in batches if your pot is a bit smaller so there's enough room for them to fit. Once they are cooked, remove from the water and allow to cool slightly.
  • While the langoustines are cooling, finely chop the herbs and mixed with the creme fraiche and lemon juice. Use the herbed cream as a dip for the cooked, shelled langoustines.
