Langoustines in the oven
Langoustines in the oven
Langoustines, or Norwegian lobsters, resemble huge shrimp, but with a slightly more regular shape. Their meat is tasty, nutritious and healthy. They are quickly and simply prepared - into a stunning delicacy worthy of a gala table; they can be transformed in almost 20-30 minutes, without making a huge effort. Neither gourmets who love delicious food, nor those who watch their figure and strive to eat right will not refuse them. Lagnustines cooked in the oven are tasty and appetizing. These crustaceans can be baked according to several recipes; the choice depends on the gastronomic preferences of the cook and those for whom he is preparing a unique snack.
Individual manufacturing
Baking langoustines is a short and easy process. Even a novice cook will successfully cope with the task if he knows and takes into account several fundamental points.
- Langoustines should not be defrosted by immersing them in hot water, because they will lose some of the water and become dry. An even worse idea would be to heat crustaceans in the microwave. This attempt to speed up the thawing process will cause the protein to curdle and the crustacean meat to become hard and rubbery. To maintain juiciness and tenderness, seafood must be given the opportunity to thaw in natural conditions, without a sharp temperature change, by keeping it for some time in the main chamber of the refrigerator or simply on the table.
- The shell of langoustines is usually not removed before baking so that the meat remains juicy. But it needs to be cut to remove the digestive vein, otherwise the snack will acquire an unpleasant bitterness. The paws are also removed, and the head is left only for decoration. From time to time, not only the shell, but also the body of langoustines is cut.
- If you string langoustines onto wooden skewers, they will retain their excellent shape when baked. Before doing this, it is better to soak the skewers briefly in clean water so that they do not start to burn.
- Like other seafood, langoustines have a specific fishy smell. To eliminate it, they are baked with the addition of citrus juice and fragrant herbs. The juiciness of crustaceans is given by olive or butter.
- Langoustines should not be baked for a long time. Usually 10-20 minutes is enough. The exact time depends on the size of the crustaceans, and also on whether they were boiled before freezing.
Baked langoustines can be served as an independent appetizer, but more often they are accompanied by a side dish of rice, pasta, fresh or baked vegetables.

Step-by-step production
Step 1:
Measure out the ingredients you need to make the langoustines in the oven. Thaw the langoustines ahead of time at room temperature or in the refrigerator. In extreme cases, they will better retain their taste and beneficial characteristics. I have boiled and frozen langoustines, they are pink in color. If the langoustines are raw (gray-green in color), they must first be boiled in bubbling salted water for 5-6 minutes, depending on their size.
Step 2:
Wash the langoustines well under cool water, cut off all the legs with scissors. Make a cut in the shell along the upper part of the langoustine from the head to the tail, remove the black thread (digestive vein) so that the langoustines do not get a bitter taste. Cut the top of the langoustine a little so that the marinade penetrates better into the meat. Rinse the langoustines again and dry thoroughly so that no water remains on them.
Step 3:
Prepare the marinade. Peel the garlic, pass through a press or chop using a small grater.
Step 4:
Wash the parsley, dry it, chop it finely. Greens will give the marinade a spicy taste and smell.
Step 5:
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, stir. Taste the marinade and add a little salt if necessary.
Step 6:
Add cooked garlic and parsley, stir. If the most spicy taste is preferred, dark ground pepper will do the trick.
Step 7:
Brush all langoustines with marinade on all sides. And don’t forget to grease the cut part of the langoustine so that it is saturated with the marinade inside. You can use a pastry brush for this. I felt comfortable doing this with an ordinary spoon, as it would be easier to pour the marinade inside the langoustine.
Step 8:
Place the cooked langoustines on a baking sheet or other suitable baking dish. Cover the pan on top and leave the langoustines for 30-40 minutes so that they are soaked in the marinade.
Step 9:
Open the pan and bake the langoustines in an oven preheated to 180C for 10-15 minutes. The baking time depends on the operating characteristics of the oven and the size of the langoustines. The main thing is not to overcook the seafood delicacy so that the langoustine meat does not become dry and tough. When roasted, langoustines can be served with a side dish, preferably with rice or pasta. Cooled down they will be a delicious cool snack. Bon appetit!
Langoustines are served entirely with lettuce, lemon, and olives. They mix well with vegetable side dishes, especially grilled vegetables. Langoustines are also included in dishes such as paella, risotto, etc.
My langoustines were marinated a little longer, and they came out with a rich taste. I advise you not to shorten the marinating time, as this affects the intensity of the taste of the finished dish.

Ingredients
Manufacturing process
There are 2 types of langoustines on sale: without heat treatment (raw) - they are greenish-gray in color and after heat treatment (boiled) - they are reddish-coral. If you have raw langoustines, then you need to boil them in advance in boiling salted water for approximately 5 minutes from the moment of boiling. If you have langoustines that were heat-treated before sale (like mine), then we start cooking right away.
Thaw the langoustines at room temperature and rinse under cool water. Next, we take any langoustine, cut the tail part with scissors, starting from head to tail, then remove the intestine, cut off the small legs and wash.
Leave the cooked langoustines in a colander for 10 minutes to drain excess liquid. At this time, let's start making the marinade sauce. To do this, chop the parsley very finely.
Place the chopped parsley in a deep bowl, add vegetable oil, pressed garlic, lemon juice, teriyaki sauce and soy sauce, if necessary, salt and pepper to taste.
Stir until smooth and the sauce for marinating langoustines is ready.
Place the langoustines in the form in which they will be baked (I previously covered the baking form with foil).
Next, apply marinade sauce to the cut tail part.
Let the langoustines marinate and soak in the most delicious, aromatic sauce for 1 hour. After the time has passed, place the langoustines in a preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes at 180 degrees, then remove from the oven and serve.
Baked langoustines taste best when they are hot, as they turn out very juicy and spicy, and even when cooled, the dish is very appetizing. You can serve langoustines as an appetizer or as a main dish with a side dish of rice, potatoes or grilled vegetables.

Even a child can prepare this traditional dish. The marinade sauce is very fragrant, tasty and rich - it is in perfect harmony with the shrimp meat. If desired, you can add more hot sauce to the sauce, this will only enhance the taste of the dish. It’s simply incomparable with dry wine and beer, not to mention strong alcoholic drinks.
To make langoustines in the oven, take the products from the list. Thaw the langoustines ahead of time.
Wash the cilantro, dry it, chop it very finely.
Place cilantro, pressed garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, salt and pepper into a deep bowl.
Mix the sauce until smooth.
So that the langoustines were even after cooking, I strung them on wooden skewers. In this form they can be grilled, very comfortably.
Place the langoustines on a comfortable flat dish and brush them with the prepared sauce using a silicone brush. Leave to marinate for a while, continue to brush with sauce from time to time.
Line a baking tray with foil and place the langoustines. Brush them with sauce again. Bake in an oven preheated to 220 degrees under the grill for 10 minutes. After 5 minutes, the langoustines must be turned over and coated with the remaining sauce on the other side.
Serve oven-baked langoustines as a hot appetizer with your favorite sauce, although they will be so self-sufficient in taste that it is completely possible to do without it.
