Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 12 Langoustine
  • 1 clove of Garlic peeled
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 tbsp good brand Mayonnaise
  • Dried oregano to taste
  • Rapeseed oil

Instructions

  • Pre-heat grill to high. Whilst this is heating split your langoustine. To do this lay an individual langoustine on its back, and using a sharp knife and pivoting on the point, press the blade down its middle, starting from the head end towards its tail. Be firm but don't go right through its shell. Now using your fingers pull them open so you end up with a butterfly effect one claw on each side. If u feel the need rinse out the head cavity but don't use too much water.
  • Lay all the split Langoustine onto a baking tray and then put two or three droplets of rapeseed oil in the middle of each one, being careful not to saturate them.
  • Sprinkle approx 1 /5 of a teaspoon of dried oregano over the flesh of each Langoustine, put to one side until needed.
  • Now place your garlic and salt into a pestle and mortar and crush the garlic into the salt until it becomes a thin paste. At this point mix in your mayonnaise making sure to blend the two well.
  • Now place your baking tray under the grill for 4 mins or until the flesh turns white all the way through.
