Australian Grilled Moreton Bay Bugs (Bay Lobster) image

Posting this recipe for the ZWT Australia which I found at All-Fish-Seafood-Recipes.com. Here is what was stated: "The Moreton Bay bug (Thenus orientalis), also known as the Bay lobster, is a species of slipper lobster found throughout the waters of Australia's north coast. If you don't have Moreton Bay bug you can use lobster, redclaw, or marron in this recipe."

I wasn't a fan of the marinade. It overpowered the natural flavor of the bugs.

I think I overcooked my bugs. They were a bit tough.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bugs didn't turn out as tender as I would have liked.

These bugs were a bit too salty for my taste.

I served the bugs with a simple lemon butter sauce, and they were amazing.

I grilled the bugs for a few minutes longer than the recipe called for, and they were still perfectly cooked.

I used a different marinade than the one in the recipe, but the bugs still turned out great.

These Moreton Bay bugs were a bit tricky to clean, but it was worth the effort. They were so delicious!

I'm not a huge seafood fan, but I loved these grilled Moreton Bay bugs. They had a mild, sweet flavor that was really appealing.

These Moreton Bay bugs were absolutely delicious! The marinade infused them with so much flavor, and the grilling process gave them a perfect smoky char.
