Langouste A La Vanille

Prepare the Langouste

Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.

Brush the split langoustes with a little vegetable oil or olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

Cook the Langouste

If using a grill: Place the langoustes cut-side down on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

If using an oven: Place the langoustes cut-side up on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes until the meat is opaque and cooked through.

Prepare the Vanilla Sauce

While the langoustes are cooking, heat the vegetable oil or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Pour in the white wine and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.

Stir in the coconut milk and vanilla bean seeds. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Add the fresh lime juice and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve

Arrange the cooked langoustes on a serving platter.

Spoon the vanilla sauce over the langoustes.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro.
