Start by making the cheese croustade batter; combine all of the ingredients in a mixer and leave overnight.
Deep fry the batter on croustard moulds in oil, at 160 degrees, until golden brown and crispy.
Blanch the langoustine tail for 1 hour 30 min and cool down on ice.
Blanch your langoustine claw for 1hour 45 min and again cool on ice then pick out the meat.
Barbecue the broccoli until it turns a nice dark green colour.
Heat the langoustine claw in a pan with a little butter.
