The freshness of lime, garlic, chili and golden melted butter complements the tender flesh of the bugs. Grilled to perfection under the broiler. Fresh from the sea to you, enjoy this tender, sweet crustacean enhanced with the tang and freshness of lime zest!

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 green moreton bay bugs (raw)
2 birds eye chiles
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup butter
salt
pepper
lime juice
lime zest
1/4 cup parsley

Steps:

Cut bugs in half lenthwise and clean out the 'yuck'.
Rinse well under running water, ensuring meat stays in shell.
Drain well and place on platter meat side up.
Season to taste with freshly cracked salt and pepper.
Melt butter being careful not to burn.
Put the zest of one lime into the melted butter, squeeze half the lime over the bugs, half into the butter.
Add garlic and finely diced chillis to the melted butter, heat gently to combine flavours.
Spoon butter mixture evenly over bugs reserving 1/4 of the mixture to spoon over just before serving.
Broil under griller for 15 minutes or until bugs are opaque. Cooking time will vary with your oven.
Spoon reserved butter mixture over hot bugs to serve, and sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley.
Serve with toasted turkish bread and extra melted butter for dipping.
Wouldn't hurt to have the Chardonnay on ice, either.

Place bugs onto a roasting tray, cut-side up, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil then roast on the middle shelf for 8-10 minutes, until lightly caramelised and cooked through. (You will know if the bug is cooked if the meat easily pulls away from the shell and is opaque). Remove the meat from 8 halves and cut into chunks.
Heat butter in a large frypan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until foamy. Add shallots and cook for 3 minutes until soft. Add garlic and tomatoes and cook, stirring, for a further 2 minutes until tomatoes begin to soften but still hold their shape. Add wine and simmer for 1-2 minutes until almost completely evaporated. Add cream and bug meat and bring to a simmer to heat through.
