LINGUINE WITH MORTON BAY BUGS

Morton Bay bugs (or the similar Balmain bugs) are slipper lobsters. If you aren't familiar with them, you're missing out on something special. The flesh is MUCH sweeter than rock lobster or crayfish - but not as sweet as mud crab, blue swimmer crab or scampi. I removed the flesh from these bugs and sautéed this in olive oil with a little garlic and chilli. A squeeze of lemon juice, tossed with spelt linguine and that was that.
