Langoustines
A member of the lobster family
Langoustine is an alternative (posher!) name for dublin bay prawns or scampi.
A small member of the lobster family, they are more often treated in culinary terms as a large shrimp or prawn.
Older specimens can weigh up to a quarter of a kilogram, but most are caught before they reach this size.
