Ingredients

  • 500g of pre-cooked Moreton Bay bugs, cut in half
  • 30g softened butter
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
  • Olive oil, salt and pepper

Steps

  1. To prepare the Sriracha butter, combine the softened butter, Sriracha, garlic, lemon juice, and chopped parsley in a small bowl. Mix until well blended.
  2. Lightly brush the Moreton Bay bugs with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Generously spread the Sriracha butter over each bug, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and place the bugs flesh-side down for 2-3 minutes. Since they are already pre-cooked, grill just until slightly charred.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy!
