Jewelies's Note:

Moreton Bay Bugs are delicacy found in the waters around Queensland, Australia. Lobster tails may be used for this recipe. Preparation time includes time to marinate. The weight of the Moreton Bay Bugs should be 1.8 kilo or 16 medium size Moreton Bay Bugs but the software won't let me type this in, instead it says 1 7/8 kilos.
