Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 large green balmain bugs or 2 large green lobster tails
- Mango Sauce:
- 1 large or 2 small mangoes
- 2 to 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/4 cup lemon or lime juice
- 1 teaspoon soft brown sugar
- 2 to 3 teaspoons Thai sweet chili sauce
Directions
- Lower bugs into large pan of lightly salted boiling water. Simmer uncovered for 4 to 5 minutes or until shells have changed to an orange- red color.
- Gently separate the heads from the bodies. Use a pair of sharp kitchen scissors to cut along the soft underside of the bugs. Pull shell apart and ease out the flesh. Cut each piece of flesh in half, lengthways.
- To make the mango sauce, peel the mango(s), remove the seeds and roughly chop flesh. Place flesh in a food processor. Add sour cream, juice, sugar and sauce. Process for 20 to 30 seconds or until smooth. Refrigerate, covered, until needed. If the sauce is too thick, add a little extra cream or juice
