Our Michelin Chefs Cook series puts the spotlight on ingredients handled in expert hands, highlighting the beauty of simple seasonal produce and pantry basics to the heady heights of luxury ingredients and prime raw materials.
This week we've selected langoustine, also known as Norway lobsters or Dublin Bay prawns. The pale orange-pink crustaceans are similar to lobsters, just a lot smaller. Some say they're the basketball players of the seafood world, all legs and arms.
Prized for their sweet, lobster-like flesh, they're the small seafood with big potential, appearing on many Michelin-starred menus around the world.
See what can be done with this succulent seafood in the hands of three-Michelin-starred chefs, from Switzerland's Peter Knogl to Belgium's Peter Goossens.
