American-style langoustines
American-style langoustines, often referred to as "Norwegian lobster" or "scampi," are a type of shellfish related to lobsters and shrimp. Known for their delicate and sweet flavor, they are a prized ingredient in various cuisines. The American-style preparation typically involves cooking the langoustines with a combination of butter, garlic, and herbs, often accompanied by lemon for added zest. This method enhances their natural taste and provides a rich, savory dish. Langoustines can be served as an appetizer, in pasta dishes, or as a main course, often paired with vegetables or a fresh salad.
