Moreton Bay Bugs with Garlicky Herb Butter

Instructions:

1. 
   1 Prepare the Bugs

   • Rinse the Moreton Bay bugs and pat dry. Using a sharp knife, slice each bug in half along its length to open it up for the butter.
2. 
   2 Create the Infused Butter

   • In a small saucepan over low heat, gently melt the butter. Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley and dill, stirring briefly to let the flavours blend.
3. 
   3 Season the Butter

   • Mix in the lemon zest and juice, then season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to ensure a consistent, aromatic butter sauce.
4. 
   4 Brush and Marinate

   • Coat the inner surfaces of the bug halves generously with the herb garlic butter. Allow them to sit for a couple of minutes so the flavours can infuse.
5. 
   5 Grill the Bugs

   • Preheat a barbeque or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the bug halves on the grill, cooking each side for 3-4 minutes until lightly charred and just cooked through.
6. 
   6 Final Touch

   • Drizzle any remaining butter over the bugs and serve immediately with extra lemon wedges to enhance the citrus notes.
