Langoustine

Nephrops norvegicus, known variously as the Norway lobster, Dublin Bay prawn, langoustine or scampi, is a slim, coral-colored lobster that grows up to 25 cm (10 in) long. It is now the only extant species in the genus Nephrops, after several other species were moved to the closely related genus Metanephrops.

The langoustine's muscular tail is the part eaten, prized as a sweet, delicate meat sold as scampi or langoustine. It's grilled, poached, or used in pasta and seafood dishes, and breaded scampi is a British favorite.

The langoustine, or Norway lobster, lives in the northeastern Atlantic and parts of the Mediterranean, digging burrows in fine mud on the seabed from shallow water down to several hundred meters. It's trawled commercially, with much of the catch coming from waters around the United Kingdom.
