Step 1
Preheat a barbecue with a lid to medium-high.
Step 2
For the herb and garlic butter, combine all ingredients in a bowl, season and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap, then chill until ready to use. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Step 3
Place the bugs on a tray, cut side-up, spoon the herb and garlic butter onto the bugs. Place bugs, shell side-down, on the barbecue. Close the lid and cook for 6 minutes or until cooked through. To add light charring turn bugs and cook, flesh side-down, for 1 minute or until lightly charred.
