cookin bugs

[cpt.ballz]

I got a few bugs last night and want to bbq them, I usually just boil the lil buddies but want to try something a bit different.

This is the plan,
boil for a couple minutes then finish on the grill,

or,

should I just do grill all the way?

Grill all the way with butter and garlic.....split in half.....

[cpt.ballz]

split before cooking? how long on medium coals.

Thanks.

Yes....shell down......grill until meat is just about white.5 to 8 minutes....then flip it over for about 30 seconds to get some grill marks.....

I like to season them, put a little butter on them and then put them in a foil boat with some ice cubes. Cook on med heat for about 10 min then pull them out and grill them for 30 sec.

mmmm...

Take 1 or 2 out of the shell and cut up into bite size pieces and saute w/garlic-butter-olive oil-salt-pepper....delish

OK. This is THE BEST tip i can give you, other than butterflying them and grilling them about 8min shell down, 3-4 min meat down.

FRESH BASIL LEAVES cut up and melted in the butter.... HOLY SHIT IS THIS AWESOME!!

TRY IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Why wait! I tail fresh by sliding a knife under the carapice and around the under side to release the tail and then grill belly side down for a few minutes on high and then split 'em and grill again meat side down with a baste of limes and butter before tossing em into my head. Chase with copious amounts of cold beer and repeat.
