1. Step 2: Prepare the barbecue

   If you plan to use a charcoal barbecue, light it 30-45 minutes before you cook and wait until the charcoal has turned white and there are no more flames. If you are using an electric barbecue, turn to high and leave for 20 minutes to heat up.

2. Step 3: Prepare the langoustines

   Place the langoustines onto the chopping board, cut the heads and bodies in half and transfer them to a large bowl.

3. Step 4: Make the potatoes

   Put the potatoes in the saucepan, fill it with water and place it on a high heat. Boil the potatoes for 10 minutes until soft, but not crumbling, and drain using the sieve. Return to the saucepan, add 10ml of olive oil, the shallots and season with salt. Mash and cover with lid.

4. Step 5: Make the parsley sauce

   Into the small bowl add the parsley, garlic and three quarters of the remaining olive oil. Mix well.

5. Step 6: Season the langoustines

   Drizzle over with the remaining olive oil, season with salt and pepper and mix gently together.

6. Step 7: Barbecue the langoustines

   Place the langoustines, shell down onto the barbecue and cook for 2-4 minutes until the edges turns white. Turn the langoustines over and cook for a further 1 minute before removing from the barbecue and placing onto the tray.

7. Step 8: Serve

   Heap the potatoes onto the serving plate and spoon parsley sauce into the centre. Place four langoustine halves onto the potato and drizzle over with more parsley sauce. Garnish with a few sprigs of herbs and serve sizzling hot.
