Balmain Bugs with Mango Sauce
8 large green balmain bugs or 2 large green
lobster tails
Mango Sauce 1 large or 2
small mangoes 2-3 TBSP sour cream 1/4 cup lemon or lime
juice 1 tsp soft brown sugar 2-3 tsp Thai sweet chili sauce
Lower bugs into large pan of lightly salted boiling water.
Simmer uncovered for 4-5 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
20-30 seconds or until smooth. Refrigerate, covered, until needed.
If the sauce is too thick, add a little extra cream or juice.
