Method

Boil langoustines in salted water for one minute, then drain and extract tail meat.

Reduce chicken stock by half over high heat, add cream, and reduce by half again.

Whisk in two-thirds of the butter, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to finish the sauce.

Fry langoustine meat in the remaining butter for three minutes until golden and heated through.

Toss lettuce, salad leaves, and herbs with a dressing of olive oil and red wine vinegar.

Plate the salad, arrange langoustines alongside, and drizzle with the warm cream sauce.
