For steam cooking, you don’t even have to defrost your langoustines beforehand. You just need to add about 3 minutes of cooking to the initial time. Your langoustines will defrost and cook over the court-bouillon.

For boiling, it’s even simpler. Once your court-bouillon is prepared (with bouquet garni, onion, salt and pepper), throw in your frozen langoustines. Let simmer until your langoustines rise to the surface. When the water comes to a boil, turn off the heat and cover your pot.
