A Tasty Treat of Cicadas!!? image

If you dare! This is being posted because this is the year of the 17 year Cicadas. And because I wanted to post in a topic going on now at zaar (What is your least popular recipe?). I'm sure I'm not going to make it. And I can't imagine how popular it will be. I found this in a news paper and they got it from food-insects.com. If you dare, use newly hatched cicadas. Because their shells have not hardened yet. I guess like eating a soft shell crab. OK I'm guessing on amounts. The cooking time I'm thinking they are like large shrimp so I figure 3 minutes for cooking. I'm putting it in the Appetizers course even though I don't find it appetizing! You know we'll see by the end of the summer if I make them. They say it's high protein.

I'm not sure I'll be making this recipe again. The cicadas were a bit too gamey for my taste.

Cicadas are a delicious and sustainable source of protein. I've tried them prepared in a variety of ways, and this recipe is one of my favorites. The cicadas are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a slightly nutty flavor.
