LANGOSTINES TEECE

Trader Joe's is selling langostine meats, $8.99 for 12 oz, they are delicious ! This dish is a little on the rich side, particularly if you include the mascarpone, so I would say this is a once or twice a year special occasion meal.
Serves: 4

You will need
-12 oz langostine meats (trader joes)
- Extra Virgin olive oil and one pat of butter, to coat pan
- 2 large shallots, sliced wafer thin lengthwise.
- two cloves of garlic, finely minced.
-Gigantic fist of parsley, chopped
-1 tbsp chopped tarragon
-Cooking sherry
- cup of fresh or fresh frozen green peas
-2 tbsp mascarpone cheese (optional) *
-Salt: if necessary
-Pepper
-Lemon zest

In large sauté pan over medium heat, sauté shallots until translucent. Add garlic. Add langostine meatsquickly sauté until translucent. Next, raise the heat and add a splash or two of sherry, reduce. Add herbs, black pepper, and lemon zest. Add green peas. Finish with mascarpone cheese (optional)*.
*Omit for less fat

This dish is very rich so I would recommend serving with steamed haricots verts.
