They may also be known as Norway Lobsters, or Scampi. More like small lobsters than ordinary scampi, this king of shrimp is wild-caught and flash-frozen on their day of catch. No chemicals or preservatives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBEHIND THE PRODUCT:\u003c\/strong\u003e Langoustinos (with an \"o\" at the end) are not langoustines (with an \"e\" at the end!). ‘Langoustino’ is the Spanish word for lobster; while ‘langoustine’ is a specific type of large prawn that is most often used for shrimp scampi. Sustainably caught in the clean pristine waters of New Zealand. Langoustine shrimp present beautifully — unlike lobsters, they retain their beautiful color even when cooked.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSERVING SUGGESTIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Some easy langoustine recipes include the following…the healthiest way to eat langoustine is to steam them over heavily salted, boiling water for about 5 minutes or until the tails are opaque. An electric steamer is a great alternative to stovetop steaming. For a fast and delicious meal, simply serve langoustine with melted Échiré butter and your favorite cocktail sauce or remoulade. To eat, break off at the head, squeeze the sides of the tail and slide out the sweet meat, discarding the black vein. You may wish to use a cocktail fork to get every bite! For traditional and impressive langoustine shrimp scampi, pan fry with garlic, butter, and parsley and serve over fresh pasta. Alternatively, cut in half when raw, and bake or grill.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eORIGIN:\u003c\/strong\u003e We regularly procure langoustines  from the North Sea.
