If you dare. And because I wanted to post in a topic going on now at zaar (What is your least popular recipe?). I'm sure I'm not going to make it. And I can't imagine how popular it will be. I found this in a news paper and they got it from food- . If you dare, use newly hatched cicadas. Because their shells have not hardened yet. I guess like eating a soft shell crab. OK I'm guessing on amounts. The cooking time I'm thinking they are like large shrimp so I figure 3 minutes for cooking. I'm putting it in the Appetizers course even though I don't find it appetizing. You know we'll see by the end of the summer if I make them. They say it's high protein.
Ingredients:
5 cicadas, wings and legs removed if shells are hard
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs or 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup seafood cocktail sauce
Directions:
1. Marinate cicadas in Worcestershire sauce at least 1 hours.
2. Dip into flour, egg then into breadcrumbs.
3. Deep fry and serve with cocktail sauce if you dare.
