Adaptation of a BBC recipe I found. Morton Bay bugs are probably only available in Australia but small lobster tails would also be suitable (or one large lobster tail).

SERVES 1 , 3 bugs (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 morton bay bugs
1 teaspoon salt
60 g butter
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon chili sauce
1 teaspoon garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

1
Blanch bugs in a small pot of water containing the teaspoon of salt for around two minutes.
2
Remove the tails ny tearing from the body as close as possible to the head without bringing any organs along.
3
Run a knife down the length of the belly of the tail and remove the thin sections to either side.
4
Melt butter by microwaving in a cup for 30 seconds or so.
5
Add parsley, chilli sauce, crushed garlic, chilli flakes and pepper and mix well.
6
Fill bug tails with plenty of the mixture.
7
Place tails shell side down over BBQ grill plate and cook around 10 minutes over medium heat.
