The meat almost melts in your mouth with a delicate texture\u2014more so than both the shrimp and the lobster.<\/p>\n<p>Simplicity is key when preparing your langoustines, so our recipe calls only for a little homemade herb butter to showcase its true virtue. They are perfect for entertaining, and can be served as an appetizer or the main course. Split in half, langoustines are\u00a0great roasted or grilled. They can also be steamed whole for three minutes. Save the heads and shells\u00a0for homemade bisque, and though the tails hold most of the meat, don&#8217;t forget to crack open the claws!<\/p>\n<p>(Note: Langoustines are highly perishable, so we\u2019d suggest eating them within a day or two after they arrive.)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: circular-medium;\"><strong>What You&#8217;ll Need:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nLangoustines<br \/>\n1\/2 pound softened butter<br \/>\n2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped<br \/>\n1 shallot, finely chopped<br \/>\n1 tablespoon tarragon, finely chopped<br \/>\n1 teaspoon fresh sage, finely chopped<br \/>\n1 tablespoon chopped chive<br \/>\nSalt and pepper<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: circular-medium;\"><strong>What to Do:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nPreheat the oven to 400\u00b0.<\/p>\n<p>Gently combine parsley, shallots, herbs, and spices to the softened butter.<\/p>\n<p>Split langoustines in half with kitchen shears.
