Garlic Butter Moreton Bay Bugs

INGREDIENTS

• 4 green Moreton Bay bugs, split in half lengthways
• Olive oil, to drizzle
• Lemon wedges, to serve

HERB & GARLIC BUTTER

• 100g softened unsalted butter
• 1 tbs finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
• 1 tsp chopped thyme leaves
• 1 tbs finely chopped oregano leaves
• 1 garlic clove, crushed

1. Preheat a barbecue with a lid to medium-high.
2. For the herb and garlic butter, combine all ingredients in a bowl, season and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap, then chill until ready to use. Bring to room temperature before serving.
3. Place the bugs on a tray, cut side-up, then drizzle with oil and season. Place bugs, shell side-down, on the barbecue. Close the lid and cook for 6 minutes or until almost cooked through, then turn and cook, flesh side-down, for 1 minute or until lightly charred. Transfer bugs to a platter. Brush some of the butter over the bug flesh. Serve bugs with remaining butter and lemon wedges on the side.
