    Peel the langoustines tails and let them marinate in some salt, pepper, thyme leaves, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

    Blend the langoustine heads after removing the eyes using a blender. Add some extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and 6 ice cubes to obtain a mayonnaise. Sieve it using a chinoise strainer and keep aside.
