How to make it

  • Maine Scallop Mousse

  • Preheat oven to 300º.
  • In a food processor, blend scallops and cream quickly until smooth.
  • Season mix with salt, nutmeg and white pepper.
  • Remove mix from food processor and place in a bowl.
  • Reserve. In a separate stainless steel bowl, whip egg whites until slightly firm but not stiff.
  • Fold egg whites gently into scallop mixture.
  • Once combined, place mix into 1” buttered ramekins.
  • Place ramekins in a high-sided baking dish, and fill pan halfway with hot water.
  • Bake in oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Langoustine Bouillon

  • Clean langoustines by separating heads and tails and deveining. Set aside.
  • Cut carrots, celery and onion in cubes. In a heavy pot with 2 liters of water, place langoustines, vegetables, orange segments, cloves and bay leaf.
  • Bring to a boil and cook on medium low heat for 20 minutes. Strain and reserve the stock. Keep langoustines.
