Buttery, garlicky, special Langoustine

Ok I went to the fish monger in search of lobster for some reason even though I zero money but had a 'I'll treat myself moment'. Turns out i couldn't treat myself that much so I purchased the scary langoustine. I am so glad i did.


When I'm world famous and rich i will have a few more than 2 on a plate but popped on top of linguine pasta it was a tasty treat dish.

Ingredients:
2 Langoustine (or how any you wish for or can afford).
50g ish Butter.
3/4 Cloves garlic
Flat leaf parsley
1/2 Red chilli
Linguine

I made this up so bare with the lack of exact amounts.

-Pop on the hob two pans of salted boiling water for pasta and fishes.
-Get prepped so finely slice or crush garlic into butter add a little of the parsley too and mix, mix, mix.
-Add pasta to water will take roughly 10 mins to cook.
-Put langoustine in boiling water for 3/4 mins, then remove  and when cooled a tad, butterfly then as in photo (cut them not all the way through but just so you can open them up to expose the meat).
-Blob and spread the garlic butter over the meat and pop under the grill for a couple of mins.
-Drain pasta and add a good glug of olive oil, as much finely chopped chilli as you like and a large handful of roughly chopped parsley.
-Take langoustine out and plate your dish and enjoy your treat!

I actually added little bits of smoked salmon and cream into the pasta that I found in the fridge to juzsh it up a little.
