2. Clean the langoustines -

   Place a pan of water on the stove and bring to the boil. Hold the head of the langoustine in one hand and the tail in the other. Turn in opposite direction to remove head. Once the water boils, put the langoustines in the water for 10 seconds. Then immediately cool the langoustines in ice water.

   Place the langoustine in the sous vide bag with a dash of olive oil, salt and pepper. Place the bag in the water bath and set the timer for 20 minutes.

5. Finish -

   Remove the cooked langoustine from the bag and serve immediately with a salad of bulgur, fennel, tomato and a lemon mayonnaise.
