How to prepare and clean fresh langoustines

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil provides a healthier fat option.

white wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Chicken broth adds flavor without alcohol.

Hold the langoustine firmly between the body and the shell and pull to release the head.

Peel each section of the shell off from underneath, starting from the bottom.

Be careful as the prawn can be quite sharp.

Pinch out any dirt trapped at the back and try to pull it out in one go.

Repeat the process for additional langoustines, pulling the heads and body from the tail starting from underneath.

Carefully pull the end tail off and look for any dirt trapped, pulling it out gently with your fingers.

Rinse the langoustine tails one final time.
