Report Abuse I'm horribly allergic to the enzymes in sand flea and mosquito bites and the sand fleas always find a way to get the spots you didn't poison with DEET! For my money, once bitten, the best stuff to use is After Bite (stick or gel).
Langostino is a Spanish word with different meanings in different areas. In the United States, it is commonly used in the restaurant trade to refer to the meat of the squat lobster, which is neither a true lobster nor a prawn.Squat lobsters are more closely related to porcelain and hermit crabs.Crustaceans labeled as langostino are no more than 3 inches (7.6 cm) long, and weigh no more than 7 ounces (200 g).Langostinos are not langoustes (spiny lobsters) despite a similar name (in Spanish, lobster is called langosta).n the United States, it is commonly used in the restaurant trade to refer to the meat of the squat lobster, which is neither a true lobster nor a prawn. Squat lobsters are more closely related to porcelain and hermit crabs.
Because of this, there has been a lot of confusion over whether the langostino is actually a relative of the shrimp or the lobster. Langostinos are small, crayfish-sized shellfish that look and taste like a cross between a shrimp and a lobster, though to me, at least, more like a tiny lobster.To add to the confusion is the fact that they are a substitute for shrimp, but rarely for lobster.angostinos, as they're usually called, is the Spanish name for these small shellfish. In France, where they're also used extensively, they're called langoustine, very similar, but a little harder for an American to pronounce.
