Oven Baked Scampi

This is a simple to make. All you need is the scampi of your choice: langoustines, Dublin prawns or Norway lobster. If you’re not sure what they are ask your fishmonger. They are slim, orange-pink lobsters which grows up to 25 cm long and they happen to be the most important commercial crustacean in Europe.

Ingredients
Scampi
Garlic
Parsley
Cognac or white vermouth
Salt
Pepper

Preparation
Cut the scampi in half or not at all if you have really small ones (or if you’re feeling lazy). The rest is very easy.

Marinate the crustaceans for 30 minutes to one hour in a mix of crushed garlic, chopped parsley, salt and pepper, cognac or white vermouth.

Preheat the oven to 200ºC and when the scampi has marinated place them in the oven for around 12 to 15 minutes depending on their size. If you doubt baking time just ask your local fishmonger.

You can also do them in a pan and flambe the cognac (in which case do not use white vermouth) or whiskey.
