烤海螯虾配苹果和柠檬黄油

Instructions:

1. 
   1 Step 1 - Prepare the Ingredients

   Peel and devein the langoustines, leaving the tails intact for presentation. Dice the Granny Smith apples and mince the garlic cloves. Zest the lemon and squeeze out 15 ml of lemon juice. Set aside all ingredients for cooking.

2. 
   2 Step 2 – Preheat Cooking Surface

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush it lightly with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.

   3 Step 3 – Sauté the Apples and Garlic

   In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced Granny Smith apples and minced garlic, sautéing until the apples soften and the garlic becomes fragrant (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in fresh thyme leaves and season with salt and black pepper.

   4 Step 4 – Grill the Langoustines

   Place the langoustines on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the flesh turns opaque and the shells develop a slight char. While grilling, drizzle lemon juice over the langoustines for extra zest and flavor.

   5 Step 5 – Plating and Garnish

   Arrange the sautéed apples on a serving plate and place the grilled langoustines on top. Garnish with lemon zest and a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil for a finishing touch.
