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.

AUSTRALIAN GRILLED MORETON BAY BUGS (BAY LOBSTER)
Posting this recipe for the ZWT Australia which I found at All-Fish-Seafood-Recipes.com. Here is what was stated: "The Moreton Bay bug (Thenus orientalis), also known as the Bay lobster, is a species of slipper lobster found throughout the waters of Australia's north coast. If you don't have Moreton Bay bug you can use lobster, redclaw, or marron in this recipe."

- 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.
