Langostino Tails

Trader Joe's puts out a "Fearless Flyer" every once in a while and they focus on special things they are featuring and give ideas about how to use the products. One thing Elaine pointed out while she was here was the Chilean Langostino Tails (frozen)...12 ounce bag for 8.99. From their flyer:

"In Chile, they're tradionally combined with a bit of mayonnaise, chopped onion and cilantro served over lettuce for a salad."

This is what is pictured here but we were a little disappointed since the flavour wasn't great. I guess we're too used to wonderful hand peeled shrimp and fresh crab at home. The texture was not bad. I think I'll use the rest with a steak...doing the recipe but heating them up in melted butter and serving them warm.
