Langoustines are small lobster relatives, sometimes called Dublin Bay prawns or scampi. The tails are sweeter and more delicate than shrimp. They cook in roughly the same time as large shrimp and overcook just as fast. Pull them when they're opaque and barely firm. If they curl tightly, they're overdone. Find them at upscale grocery stores or online seafood retailers, usually frozen.
