    Utensils Used
    | 1. Cut bugs in half lenthwise and clean out the 'yuck'. | 2. Rinse well under running water, ensuring meat stays in shell. | 3. Drain well and place on platter meat side up. | 4. Season to taste with freshly cracked salt and pepper. | 5. Melt butter being careful not to burn. | 6. Put the zest of one lime into the melted butter, squeeze half the lime over the bugs, half into the butter. | 7. Add garlic and finely diced chillis to the melted butter, heat gently to combine flavours. | 8. Spoon butter mixture evenly over bugs reserving 1/4 of the mixture to spoon over just before serving. | 9. Broil under griller for 15 minutes or until bugs are opaque. Cooking time will vary with your oven. | 10. Spoon reserved butter mixture over hot bugs to serve, and sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley. | 11. Serve with toasted turkish bread and extra melted butter for dipping. | 12. Wouldn't hurt to have the Chardonnay on ice, either. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
