Moreton Bay Bugs with Herb and Garlic Butter
- 1kg raw Moreton Bay bugs
- Olive oil for drizzling
- Lemon wedges to serve
- For the Butter
- 100g softened butter
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp chopped oregano
- 1 crushed garlic clove
- Preheat the barbecue to medium-high. Stir the ingredients for the butter together in a small bowl and season well. Cover and chill until ready to use.
- Place the bugs on a tray, cut side up, and drizzle with oil and seasoning. Place the bugs, shell side-down, onto the barbecue. Close the lid and cook for 7 mins, then turn and cook on the flesh side for a minute or two to lightly char. Brush the bugs with butter and serve with some more butter and lemon wedges on the side. Perfect!
