Cooking method

Step 1:

Before marinating, prep the langoustines: pull off the heads and rinse out the vein under running water.
Step 2:

To make the marinade, gently warm the sesame oil and stir all the marinade ingredients into it. Set some of the marinade aside to serve as a sauce for the finished langoustines. Soak the langoustines in the rest.
Step 3:

Grill the langoustines for 1.5 minutes on each side. Enjoy!

The langoustine meat at the heart of this recipe is a source of protein, healthy fats, and a whole range of good-for-you minerals — iodine, zinc, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, selenium, and copper. That combination keeps skin and hair healthy, supports your vision, and strengthens your bones. These minerals also help with metabolism and brain function, so this recipe is good for every age. You can use this same method for langoustines or for any saltwater fish. After grilling, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top is excellent. Sesame oil isn't a common sight in most home kitchens, and understandably so — it costs several times more than ordinary oils. But I do recommend using it now and then, because it gives the marinade an incredible flavor. It adds a wonderful note of complexity to grilled seafood and will pleasantly surprise your guests with an unexpected touch — I'm sure they'll love it. It's worth noting that this recipe is great for cooking outdoors at a picnic, especially when you need to get something on the table fast for kids or guests. Nothing cooks faster than langoustines: two minutes per side over hot coals. Just be sure to marinate and rinse the langoustines at home ahead of time — rinsing them outdoors takes a lot of time and water. The flavor of langoustine is similar to crayfish, which are traditionally boiled to go with beer around here, so beer lovers will get a kick out of this recipe too.
