Langoustines alla Busara

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• 1 garlic clove
• 3 tablespoons plain dry breadcrumbs
• 8 medium langoustines (about 2 pounds), rinsed and patted dry (see Note)
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped, 1/4 cup of juices reserved
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• Kosher salt
• Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• Lemon wedges and crusty bread, for serving

Steps

1. In a large, deep skillet, heat the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in the breadcrumbs and cook until beginning to brown, about 1 minute
2. Add the langoustines to the skillet in a single layer. Pour the wine over them and cook until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and their juices, crushed red pepper and a generous pinch each of salt and black pepper. Cover and simmer over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the tail meat is opaque, 16 to 18 minutes. Discard the garlic clove. Stir in the parsley and drizzle with a little more olive oil. Serve the langoustines with lemon wedges and crusty bread.
