Langoustines in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Measure out the necessary ingredients for cooking langoustines in the oven. Pre-defrost the langoustines at room temperature or in the refrigerator. In the latter case, they will better preserve their taste qualities and useful properties. My langoustines are boiled and frozen, they have a pink color. If the langoustines are raw (gray-green), they must first be boiled in boiling salted water for 5-6 minutes, depending on their size.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the langoustines well under cold water, cut off all the paws with scissors. Make an incision of the shell along the upper part of the langoustine in the direction from the head to the tail, remove the black thread (intestinal vein) so that the langoustines do not acquire a bitter taste. Cut the langoustine a little on top so that the marinade penetrates the meat better. Rinse the langoustines again and dry them well so that there is no water left on them.

3. Step 3:

   

   Prepare the marinade. Peel the garlic, pass it through a press or chop it with a fine grater.

4. Step 4:

   

   Wash the parsley, dry it, chop it finely. The greens will give the marinade a spicy taste and aroma.

5. Step 5:

   

   In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, mix. Taste the marinade, if necessary, add a little salt.

7. Step 6:

   

   Add the prepared garlic and parsley, mix. If preference is given to a sharper taste, ground black pepper will be in place.

8. Step 7:

   

   Brush each langoustine with marinade from all sides. And be sure not to forget to lubricate the cut part of the langoustine so that it is soaked with marinade inside. You can use a cooking brush for this. It was convenient for me to do this with a regular spoon, so it's easier to pour the marinade inside the langoustine.

9. Step 8:

   

   Place the prepared langoustines on a baking sheet or other suitable baking dish. Cover the mold from above and leave the langoustines for 30-40 minutes to soak in the marinade.

10. Step 9:

    

    Open the mold and bake the langoustines in a preheated 180C oven for 10-15 minutes. The baking time depends on the specifics of the oven and the size of the langoustines. The main thing is not to overdo the sea delicacy, so that the meat of langoustines does not become dry and harsh. In hot form, langoustines can be served with a side dish, preferably with rice or pasta. The cooled ones will be a delicious cold snack. Enjoy your meal!
