There are such things as jumbo langoustines that come in at around six to the kilo but a reasonable count is around sixteen to the kilo, enough for two or three people.

Ingredients
1 kg 2 lb 4 oz 4
Method

Place a lid on the pan and as soon as the water is boiling again, the langoustines will be cooked (pull back the tail and look at the meat through the thin membrane there: once it is white rather than translucent, they are cooked). Lift the langoustines out
