  • Liquid cream
  • Ile de Ré salt flower

Put the gnocchis in a saucepan full of boiling water until the gnocchis float. Dry them and fry them in the pan you used to cook the langoustines, until they start to gain color and then arrange them in a plate. Add salt flower, a bit of Espelette chili pepper and chiselled chives.
